Actor and wife Gautami Gadgil on how marriage has tamed her husband and wishing to face the camera again.
She is enjoying playing mother to young Sia to the hilt. But Gautami Gadgil, wife of actor Ram Kapoor, who was a busy actor not long ago is itching to return to the small screen.
“I am in talks with Ektaa (Kapoor). Ram (plays Jai Walia in Zee’s ‘Kasamh Se’) and I are most comfortable working with her. I have faith in her vision. I believe she knows what is best for me,” she says.
On why she wishes to return to the small screen, Gautami says, “I have been a busy actor always. Although I am enjoying being at home and playing with Sia, I get bored when she goes to spend time with her grandparents. That is when I feel like getting back to work. If I do so, the happiest people would be my mother and my mother-in-law who will get all the attention from Sia.”
So what kind of roles is Gautami considering? She replies, “I haven’t thought of anything in particular. But Ram says that I must do meaty roles, or else it wouldn’t be worthwhile returning to acting. My only condition is that I can’t work round the clock.”
Talking about her daily routine, Gautami says that she is more disciplined than Ram is. “Sia takes most of my time. But I find time to go to the gym regularly and work out. I had to lose the extra weight I had put on during my pregnancy.”
She adds, “ Ram isn’t regular because he doesn’t have the time. Ram was so fit when he was at home before ‘Kasamh Se’ had launched. But he has re-joined the gymnasium and is struggling to be regular. I have started packing him healthy homemade food.
However, his co-stars look fitter than him. I wonder if they have been eating his tiffin!”
Gautami adds that after Sia’s birth, Ram and her relationship has evolved further.
“Sia has taken over our lives. Earlier we thought of ourselves. Now we only think about Sia’s happiness. I have become more disciplined and have learnt the art of multi-tasking. Ram’s personality has also gone in for a complete turn around too. He used to be a wild boy before marriage. Ektaa also teases him about how marriage has tamed him.”
On his growing popularity she says, “It is yet to sink in that he is such a popular television star. I have witnessed his fans, some of them males, coming up to him and wanting to touch him. It is a humbling experience. Adulation is something an actor always wants.”
The doting wife adds, “Ram is the best thing to have happened to me. He is the most caring and genuine human being.”
