Actor Ram Kapoor made a candid confession about his past relationships during the latest episode of Lock Upp, revealing that he had an eventful dating life before marrying actress Gautami Kapoor. The actor admitted he was once a "playboy" and had so many relationships that he could no longer keep count.
During a conversation inside the reality show, Ram was asked if he had ever cheated in a relationship. Without hesitation, he replied, "I was a playboy before marriage. I had too many affairs to count." He went on to explain that while he had dated several women before settling down, everything changed after he married Gautami.
Reflecting on his younger years, Ram said, "When I met Gautami, I knew she was the one. After marriage, my priorities changed completely." The actor stressed that his life took a different direction once he found the right partner, adding that he has remained committed to his wife ever since.
Ram also shared an interesting anecdote involving producer Ektaa Kapoor, who had apparently warned Gautami before the couple tied the knot because of his reputation. Recalling the incident, he said, "Ekta actually called Gautami and asked her, 'What are you doing? Are you sure?' She knew the kind of person I was back then." Despite the warning, Gautami chose to trust him, and the couple has now been married for over two decades.
His confession came amid ongoing discussions in the Lock Upp house about love, commitment and infidelity. Ram's remarks sparked reactions from fellow contestants, with many surprised by how openly he spoke about his past. The actor maintained that people can evolve with time and that marriage transformed him into a more responsible person.
Ram's personal life has remained under the spotlight in recent weeks, especially after his comments on relationships and infidelity generated debate among viewers. His latest revelation has once again become a talking point on social media, with fans appreciating his honesty while others revisited his earlier controversial statements on marriage.
