Television actor Ram Kapoor has landed in the middle of another controversy after the latest episode of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa. A heated exchange between Ram and host Farah Khan during a task quickly became one of the show’s biggest talking points, with many viewers accusing the actor of crossing the line. The clip has since gone viral on social media, where fans are divided over the confrontation.
While disagreements are not unusual on reality television, Ram’s tone during the exchange drew strong reactions from viewers. Several users praised Farah for staying composed throughout the argument, while others questioned Ram’s behaviour towards the show’s host.
Ram Kapoor clashes with Farah Khan during task
The confrontation unfolded during a task in which supporters of the contestants were asked to help them avoid elimination. During the challenge, Ram Kapoor repeatedly urged his wife, Gautami Kapoor, not to target fellow contestant Akanksha Choudhary.
After hearing the same request multiple times, Farah Khan interrupted him and responded, “toh ek kaam karna trophy uske de de abhi. Why didn’t you say the same thing for Shilpa then? When everyone ganged up on her?”
Ram immediately replied in a raised voice, “Because Shilpa is my enemy, she is not. I am owning my truth.”
Farah appeared visibly surprised by the response but chose to remain calm as the task continued. Although the moment ended quickly on the show, the clip soon spread across social media, where it generated widespread discussion.
Viewers criticise Ram’s behaviour
Many viewers expressed disappointment with Ram Kapoor’s conduct, arguing that contestants should maintain respect for the show’s host regardless of disagreements. Several social media users felt Farah handled the situation with patience, choosing not to escalate the argument despite the actor’s tone.
One viewer wrote, “Even I felt bad.. but Farah didn’t let tht show on her face.. respect the host.. or don’t sign up… And Ram came out and went on to do the same with Pam.”
Another commented, “Ram was shouting so rudely at her no basic manners or politeness towards the host.. She should have punished him for that. She is doing a great job as a host and jailer.. Also hats off to her patience as that man was acting so vile.”
A Reddit user added, “Farah is too good for this show. I absolutely hated Ram for raising his voice at Farah. Farah showed him who she is by being calm. He won’t raise his voice against Salman.”
Another reaction read, “It doesn’t matter if he’s known Farah Khan for so long or even Ritesh for so long at the end of the day, he’s a contestant and she’s a host. He cannot talk to her like that.” Another viewer wrote, “dude i was taken aback by that. Farah should have yelled back at him!!!”
The latest incident is not the first time Ram has found himself involved in a disagreement on the show. Earlier this season, reports claimed he refused to follow host Riteish Deshmukh’s instructions until he was provided with water, leading to another tense moment behind the scenes.
