One should celebrate life and not just certain occasions
Ram Kapoor will be pulling all-nighters shooting, including his birthday. For the actor, who turns 48 today, birthdays are no big deal.
“At my age, we don’t do anything really for my birthday. My dad believed this and so do I that one should celebrate life and not just certain dates or occasions,” he says. His father passed away four months ago and Kapoor admits that he remembers him often.
The actor had a packed schedule this year, with four projects to shoot for. He wrapped up one, but after the second lockdown, had to juggle his dates for the rest.
He explains, “Now, I am working on three projects at the same time. It has been challenging, as I am running from one to the other. No actor wants to take on so much at the

same time. The roles and projects are wonderful and I’m happy with the work that I am doing.”
Kapoor has finished shooting for Vipul Shah’s web show, Human, and is shooting for Vikramaditya Motwane’s Stardust, Masaba Masaba season 2 and another web show.
With releases like A Suitable Boy, Abhay season 2 and Big Bull on OTT, Kapoor is delighted that he has been getting a variety of roles on the digital platform.
“OTT is one of the best things to have happened to our industry. Films and TV will always have their place, but OTT is the future. This is one of the most enjoyable times of my career. And not just me, whoever is doing interesting work on OTT is getting to experiment and grow. I know of a lot of actors from TV, who are desperately trying to get good work in OTT, but are not really managing,” says Kapoor.
