Actor Ram Kapoor on Smriti Irani's weight: 'She was as 'huge' as I am...'

Ram Kapoor has had a tremendous journey towards his weight loss and he has spoken about it many times. He has now shed light on Smriti Irani’s weight gain as well in a recent interview.

The actor said, “When she started Kyunki Saas and when she ended, she was huge. Her logic was now I have played a character who has taken so many leaps. ‘Now I am playing a grandmother.’ So you see her in the first year of Kyunki to last year, you will notice that she is as big as I am. We were equally successful.”

He added, “I have even spoken to her about this. She was just staying true to her character. When she entered the series, she played just a wife, then she became a mother, then the show took several leaps in eight years of its run. She allowed herself to become bigger. If she would have continued in television, she would have probably much bigger than me. She left because she joined politics and she is doing great.”

Kapoor added, “Live your life as healthily as you can. Why the hell will you not take a shortcut if the doctor is telling you to?”
