What Ram Kapoor had said?

Talking to the popular YouTuber Siddharth Kannan, the Jubilee actor shared that how he and Sakshi Tanwar were initially scared about the scene but it was the show’s creator and producer Ekta Kapoor who finally convinced them. “My job as an actor is to do my work. I don’t owe an explanation to anybody… My job is to follow the script… How can I say that I won’t do this? If I do, then I’m not an actor,” said Ram.

“Ekta is the one who wrote the scene, wanted us to do the scene… I told Ekta, ‘Are you sure? Ye television mein pehle kabhi hua nahi hai (This has not happened on television before); it was the first kiss of television, which is a big thing. And three generations watch (the show) together… but Ekta was very confident that we should do it. I said, okay, I’ll first get a go-ahead from my wife. Then I told Sakshi that, look, I will handle Ekta. If you have a problem, tell me,” he added.
