Ram Kapoor and Mona Singh are coming together for a show called Mistry for Jio Hotstar that will stream on the platform from June 27. But as per a report by Midday, the actor has been removed from the upcoming promotional activities and interviews due to his alleged sexual and problematic remarks.
As per the report, the actor, apparently exhausted with a string of interviews, said it felt like a ‘Gang ra*e.’ This remark was made in the presence of a journalist who was putting on a mic for the interview.
An executive who was present at the venue also revealed some shocking details. “He looked at my colleague’s dress and referring to its length, said, ‘The clothes are distracting.’”
Another staff member who was present at the venue (JW Marriot Hotel in Mumbai, where the interviews were happening) said, “It didn’t hit immediately, but when it did later that evening, we started recounting the number of offensive things he said. He told one of our male colleagues that his mother should have faked a headache and he shouldn’t have been born. He made references to sex positions.”
The actor is yet to break his silence on the allegations.
Mistry is a uniquely chaotic blend of crime, comedy and heart. Mistry is the Indian adaptation of the multi-award-winning US series Monk. This dramedy is directed by Rishab Seth and produced by Banijay Asia in association with Universal International Studios.
At its core is Ram Kapoor as the eccentric, compulsive, and brilliant detective Armaan Mistry, along with a stellar ensemble that includes Mona Singh, Shikha Talsania, and Kshitish Date.
