Actor Ram Kapoor has been in the news for his shocking weight loss transformation, having previously revealed that he lost 55 kgs in just 18 months. Recently, the actor shared that his decision to lose weight was not driven by his career or the desire to receive acting offers. In a recent vlog shared by filmmaker Farah Khan, she visited Ram’s Mumbai home with his cook, Dilip. His wife, Gautami Kapoor, was also present.

Farah praised Ram's transformation, reminiscing that she has known him since he weighed 150 kgs. In response, Kapoor said, "That was the wrong way to do it. Meine sirf weight loss kiya tha. Do baar patla hua hoon. When I was in college in Los Angeles, acting school, mere ek-bedroom ghar mein Sajid Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, Arbaaz Khan, and Rajesh Saathi came for two weeks. At that time, I was the size of planet Jupiter."

Check out the video:

He further shared that some people reach a phase in their career where work comes to them naturally, as they no longer have anything to prove." I am no star — never will be a star. My name is not Khan, but mein size mein bada hoon ya chhota hoon, kaam milta hai. Meine yeh kaam ke liye nahi kiya, career ke liye nahi kiya. Apne aap ke liye kiya. Meine apne aap ko promise kiya tha that at the age of 50, I would do it — and metabolic rate slows down," said Ram.

He also talked about the weight loss drug Ozempic, stating that if your doctor advises you to take the medication, you should follow their guidance rather than listening to people on social media. While some may call it a shortcut, he believed that everyone has only one life.

"Live your life as healthily as you can. Why the hell will you not take a shortcut if the doctor is telling you to?," stated Ram.
