Actor Ram Kapoor, best known for his role in Ektaa Kapoor's hit TV show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, is gearing up for the release of his upcoming web series Mistry. The mystery dramedy is an adaptation of the American series Monk. Just days ahead of the show's release, Ram Kapoor has been dropped from the series' promotional activities, say reports. The decision was made by the senior leaders at JioHotstar, the OTT platform behind the show, following allegations that the actor made "sexually inappropriate" remarks during a media interaction at Juhu's JW Marriott Hotel on Thursday, June 19. ‘Mistry’ Trailer: Ram Kapoor Turns Desi ‘Monk’ As He Solves Baffling Mysteries in JioHotstar Series Co-Starring Mona Singh (Watch Video).
Why Ram Kapoor Was Removed From ‘Mistry’ Promotions
According to a report in Mid-Day, Ram Kapoor was sitting alongside his Mistry co-star Mona Singh and JioHotstar executives in the presence of the media, when he allegedly made repeated comments laced with a sexual tone. This made the team members and the media uncomfortable. An insider told the publication, "The tone and content of his 'joke' were unprofessional. He had back-to-back interviews that day. Referring to the work pressure at one point, he said he feels 'gang-raped'. This remark was made while one journalist was setting up her mic."

The situation worsened after the 51-year-old actor made more offensive remarks later that day. He reportedly remarked regarding the outfits and family members of the JioHotstar and public relations team members. One of the executives revealed to the daily, "He looked at my colleague's dress and referring to its length, said, 'The clothes are distracting'."
Another executive added, "It didn't hit immediately, but when it did later in the evening, we started recounting the number of offensive things he said. He told one of our male colleagues that his mother should have faked a headache and he shouldn't have been born. He made references to sex positions."
JioHotstar Takes Action Against Ram Kapoor
According to the report, the matter regarding Ram Kapoor was escalated to JioHotstar's senior leadership and HR Department. After multiple eyewitnesses and discussions, the platform decided to cut the actor out of the remaining promotional events of Mistry. "This workplace prioritises dignity and safety. After a complaint was formally raised and the incidents corroborated by eyewitnesses, the leadership moved promptly. The platform wants to distance itself from any behaviour that normalises workplace misconduct," a source within the company told Mid-day.
