Ram Kapoor recently found himself in controversy after being dropped from the promotions of his web series, Mistry. It happened after the actor made some sexually inappropriate remarks against one of his team members during a press interaction. Now, TV actor Sudhanshu Pandey, known for his performance in shows like Anupamaa, has shared his reaction to Kapoor’s controversial remark, calling them a reflection of ‘mansik asthirta’ (mental instability).
Speaking to FilmiBeatz, Pandey said, “Firstly, Ram’s words are harming his reputation. Second, it takes mental instability to say such things, especially when referring to a woman nearby. A decent individual should constantly show respect for others, particularly ladies. If Ram has said anything like this, I sincerely apologise on behalf of our entire industry.”
Ram, on the other hand, speaking to ETimesTV, has accepted his statement and apologised for it. He said, “Let me begin by stating that I did say everything for which I have been blamed. So, the truth is, I am guilty as charged. But here’s what I have to say in my defence. When I am with people I am comfortable with, I tend to become my badass self. Everyone who knows me and has worked with me understands that is how I am, and I don’t try to offend.”
He further stated that he was unaware of any distress he may have given the show’s staff during the event. “I didn’t feel it once all day. We were laughing and joking. If I had gotten a hint that they were offended, I would have dealt with it immediately.”
On the work front, Ram’s web series Mistry has now premiered on JioHotstar. The show also features Mona Singh and Abhiijeit Chitre in the leads. It is the official Hindi remake of the American superhit series, Monk.
Coming back to Sudhanshu, he is currently winning hearts with his performance in the reality show, The Traitors, which is streaming on Prime Video. Hosted by Karan Johar, the other remaining contestants of the show include Purav Jha, Apoorva Mukhija, Harsh Gujral, Uorfi Javed, Nikita Luther and Jasmine Bhasin. The grand finale episode will be available to watch on Thursday, July 3, 2025, on Prime Video at 8:00 PM.
