Abhirupa Purkayastha – Simplifying Life

For the ignorant ones, Ram Kapoor is a TV actor who stars in a Sony TV serial called Bade Acche Lagte Hay. Now the important part – why was he trending on Twitter? Well, after sneaking  into some of the tweets I gathered that Ram Kapoor along with his co-star Sakshi Tanwar did a dhamaal love scene on TV.

Apparently this Ram Kapoor isn’t your usual M&B kinda hero – tall, chiseled body, dark, green eyes n all that. Rather he is the male version of 9o’s actress Shilpa Shirodkar!! Well, no offense meant to Ms Shirodkar.

Anyways the love scene was tweeted by many (seriously!!) and also discussed was Ram Kapoor’s weight and how Sakshi Tanwar managed to bear it 😛

So, here’s a rundown on some of the funny Ram Kapoor tweets that I came across –

BTW it’s not the first time in the history of Indian TV that the protagonists are shown doing intimate scenes. Remember Kusum and Abhay from Kusum, the lead pairs from Kahin diya jale kahin jiya (most probably Payal and Rohit played by Prachi Shah and Mukul Dev),  the Bhagyavidhata lead pair et al!! BTW the most adorable confused couple on Star Plus Gopi and Ahem are still waiting for the creatives to give a nod to their suhag raat!! I think  Gopi and  Ahem have been married for 2 years now and the audience is still waiting for them to manaofy their suhag raat. What’s the word, pathetic, is it?

So, what’s special about Ram Kapoor and Saakshi Tanwar love scene that it was tweeted by many! Well,  the answer is – none of the above mentioned pairs did a lip lock scene. And Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar did it!  The love scene which ran for 17 mins was nothing more than a hippo making whoopee!! No, not with a female hippo but with a goat. Besides the lip lock, the scene had  candles + a romantic song being played in the background (I still can’t believe they played In lamhon ke which  had Hrithiik and Aish) + a bed. Also, it featured Ram Kapoor in the act of removing Saakshi’s clothes + jewelery and drooling at the same time!! But despite so much effort, the scene didn’t ooze romance. Instead it had  ENTERTAINMENT + CHEAP THRILL written all over it.

You can check out the much tweeted Ram Kapoor and Saakshi Talwar’s love scene here-

Now speaking of romance on TV, I remember a very cute scene between Kanwaljeet and Deepika Deshpande in a DD serial called Farmaan. Super romantic it was. The girl was an employee and he was a nawab I guess. And she didn’t know he was her employer and he didn’t know that she worked for him. They met at a family gathering and she was decked up in a very traditional outfit. They entered into a  verbal spat and the hero kissed her …I know sounds stupid and very Mill and boon kinds. But the way it was shown was reallyyyyy cute.

This one is just for fun! Hope it doesn’t happen to you on your wedding night 😛
