Ram Kapoor, one of television’s most iconic stars, just dropped a major throwback bomb! The Bade Achhe Lagte Hain actor revealed that his first-ever paycheck was a mere Rs 1,500 per day—an amount that, he cheekily noted, is now equivalent to the cost of a fancy mineral water bottle.
Speaking on Let’s Talk With DevnaG, Ram reminisced about his early struggles, working with Doordarshan, and how he defied industry norms to become one of TV’s highest-paid actors—despite weighing 140 kg at the time. “I was the biggest on television—size-wise,” he quipped, thanking audiences for embracing him.
From earning pennies to ruling the small screen, Ram’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. He emphasized that while TV is a tough industry, it rewards those who stick it out. “If money was my only goal, I wouldn’t have left television,” he admitted.
With hit shows, blockbuster films, and a jaw-dropping 55 kg weight loss transformation, Ram Kapoor continues to redefine success. One thing’s for sure—he’s come a long way from those humble Rs 1,500 days!
