Why are Gautami-Ram hot property?
Gautami Gadgil and Ram Kapoor may have been fairly known before Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. But the show has evidently put them into the spotlight like never before. With Gautami stepping into Smriti Irani’s shoes as Tulsi, much is being speculated about her ability to carry it off. Will she or won’t is something one can only wait and watch. The actress of course is optimistic.
She says, “I feel a sense of responsibility and pressure since Smriti has been playing the role for seven years. But it’s not easy to get something like this. I do believe it’s tough but certainly not impossible.”
Ram too has been quite kicked about his wife bagging the role. Ask him his opinion about Gautami playing a 70-year-old lady and he replies, “If I can play a character much older than my age in Kasamh Se, why can’t she?”
Ram, evidently Ekta’s blue-eyed boy, is literally carrying Kasamh Se on his lonesome shoulders. And with Gautami entering Kyunki… as Tulsi, they have become one of the most popular off-screen couples in recent times.
Ram and Gautami are past their prime. Gautami is even a mother. But it is precisely this that makes them the golden couple of the season
Not so long ago everyone was talking of the young Gauri Pradhan and Hiten Tejwani. Unlike them, Ram and Gautami are past their prime. Gautami is even a mother. But it is precisely this that makes them the golden couple of the season. They may not be your prince and princess from the fairytale land. But they certainly have a poise exceeding their far younger predecessors.
Why else would Ram enter Kyunki…? Indeed, if rumours are to be believed, the actor is to add drama to the show. He will play the doctor who gives his dead wife’s face to Tulsi. And in a true Ekta Kapoor style, a love triangle will emerge.
This isn’t the first time however the two have shared the screen. Years ago Ram and Gautami had acted together in Ghar Ek Mandir, one of Balaji’s afternoon soaps. The couple hit it off and fell in love. And after three years of courting, they married.
Till Kasamh Se and Kyunki… their list of individual achievements hasn’t been particularly impressive. Gautami’s most notable one has been a song sequence in the Abhi-Ash starrer Kuch Na Kaho. Ram Kapoor has done a fair bit of acting in films like Monsoon Wedding, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow. But this is largely where his film career stands.
