Ram Kapoor stunned the internet last month with his drastic weight loss transformation. The actor, who has been the highest paid TV actor in Indian television, opened up about his weight loss journey.

During a podcast with Devna Gandhi, the TV star said, “What I did was, for 5 years before I achieved this, I went on a massive weight loss journey and shed 30 kgs, then I put it back on again. This helped me learn what I should not do, then I would stay up all night and read books by experts, and watch podcasts and I… decided to fully commit to becoming the best version of myself.”

Ram was also asked about the several claims that he took Ozempic for his weight, he answered, “I never took Ozempic or any other drug for weight loss, neither did I do bariatric surgery, but does any of that matter? However, it is not wrong to do any of that because people do so to become a better version of themselves.”

Apart from his famous TV serials, Ram is also known for starring in some of the most critically acclaimed movies like Udaan, Monsoon Wedding, Jubilee, and Hazaaron Khwaishein.
