You know him as Mr Ram Kapoor from the super hit TV show Bade Achche Lagte Hain, but do you know that Ram Kapoor (yes, that's also his real name) is a father to two cute little kids in real life.
Married to popular TV actress Gautami Kapoor, Ram spent his formative years at Sherwood College, Nainital. He was first seen noticed in the serial Heena that had Simone Singh in the lead. He later on became a household name as Jai Walia in the Balaji soap Kasamh Se. He has also appeared in several Bollywood movies such as Agent Vinod , Student Of The Year, Udaan and Humshakals.
Being so busy in reel life, Ram doesn't get a lot of time to spend with his two adorable kids Sia(10) and Aks(7). However, the actor believes that his kids are his real stress busters.
"But when I reach home, my fatigue vanishes. My kids Sia and Aks pounce on me the moment I open the door. And I become a child in their company. Though I have this image of a serious actor, if someone sees me with the kids, unko to heart attackhi ho jayega. My kids are my stress busters," he said in an interview to a leading television news website.
And the moment you see his pics on Instagram you'd agree with every word that he has said. Checkout this picture of him and his son relaxing on a day off.
While his Instagram pics show him as a cool, chilled out father, wife Gautami says that he is the opposite in reality. She says that he is a strict father and the kids listen to him more than her.

“Ram says something once, and it is done immediately. I am not that strict,” says Gautami. However, while he does like to have some fun with his kids every now and then, Ram surely knows that he has to set an example for kids. This is why he had quit smoking last year after being a smoker for almost twenty years.

"After 20 years of smoking, I quit smoking overnight without cutting down. From 40 cigarettes to zero, only because my daughter said to me, 'Dada (that's what his daughter calls him), you want to die. You want to leave me'. Baat hi wahaan khatam ho gayi. It was last year on New Year's that I quit smoking. It was 2013 when I last smoked. My daughter is only eight-and-a-half years old. My wife, and even my son, will never be able to control me. But my daughter has me wrapped around her little finger," he said in an interview to The Times of India.

Another thing that he is teaching his kids is that looks really don't matter. If you are talented, you will make a mark despite all the competition. In fact, he says that people like him because he does not care about his looks and weight.

"I think people like me because I don't give a damn about my looks. There are some questions an actor finds very difficult to answer. What is the reason why the audience is accepting him/her is a very difficult question to answer. What I venture, and I am not saying that I am right, is that people are getting to see a person who doesn't really give a damn about these things (looks and his body). It's all about the performance and it's all about the material. They are used to everything being perfect. But here comes a person who says, 'Haan, main mota hoon, main aisa hi hoon, par aap mera kaam dekho'. Maybe they are connecting to that. These are questions I don't want to dwell on and I just want to continue doing good work," he says.
Ram is thankful that he has a great family and a wonderful life partner who understands his work.
"I think I have made the best decision in choosing my life partner. She is also from the industry and understands the nature of job perfectly. She knows that I have to work for long hours. I am blessed to have her in my life. At times I certainly miss being with them and wish that I could spend more time with my family."
