‘Lock Upp 2’: Ram Kapoor Opens Up on Being Molested in School, Says Abuser Helped Him Heal
Mumbai, July 12: Actor Ram Kapoor opened up on one of traumatic experiences in life. In the latest episode of the streaming show ‘Lock Upp’, the actor shared that he was molested in school. However, the actor went on to reveal that the person, who did wrong to him, helped him get over the trauma induced by him on the actor. The actor, who was marked “At Risk”, had to reveal the secret in a bid to save himself from elimination. He said, “I was 13 years old when I was molested in school. Till today, only my wife Gautami knows about it. I have never spoken about this publicly”.
The actor explained that the experience left a lasting impact on him, even though he chose to bury the memory for years. The actor further mentioned that revisiting the incident was never easy, but he felt it was important to acknowledge it now, especially if it encouraged conversations around childhood trauma and the emotional scars survivors often carry. ‘Lock Upp S2’: Ram Kapoor Reveals Wife Gautami Kapoor Told Him ‘Make Me Proud’ Before His Indian TV’s First Kiss Scene (Watch Video).
