Ektaa Kapoor shuts down speculation linking her post to Ram Kapoor, calling it a wild misinterpretation. “I was talking about body image, not taking a dig,” she said while speaking on Day One of India Today Conclave Mumbai 2025.
00:00I'm going to pull out one of Ekta Kapoor's Instagram clips that she'd put out.
00:04Many thought she was trying to hint at somebody.
00:06Was it really that?
00:08Also, you know, after we play out the clip, we'll have a better understanding.
00:11So, let's play that Instagram clip out.
00:15In Chennai, I have some time, so I'm going to make this post.
00:19What do I do? I've given you a lot of weight.
00:20Should I do an anti-inflammatory diet?
00:25Munjaro.
00:26Ozempic.
00:30All of the above.
00:32Zip my mouth.
00:36I'll leave it.
00:39We look great.
00:45Okay.
00:46I'm going to take this moment to tell everyone.
00:51This was exactly one week before I launched the
00:53Bade Acche Lagtie promo.
00:56Wherein the promo itself had a line.
01:00That the girl is trying on an outfit and she's a large size and she wants to, she tries to fit into a medium.
01:08Again, dealing with body shaming and self-doubt and self-assurances.
01:12Which was taken completely into another spectrum.
01:17This was not an Ekta Kapoor dig at anyone.
01:20No, this actually, the very next video I put up, immediately one minute after that, was guys, you know, we as women should start accepting ourselves.
01:28And so what if we have gained weight and, you know, we should be okay with it and, you know what, I want to talk about weight issues on television and this and that.
01:37I have no idea where Ram Kapoor is, he's neither a woman, noisy on television currently and noisy battling weight issues, he's lost a lot of weight.
01:46How did this even go to him, I have no idea.
01:49No, I didn't say Ram Kapoor, you said Ram Kapoor.
01:50I said it because why, why do we, I have to like hide from the fact, there were so many stories.
01:54And I was like, really?
01:56It's like me saying, I'm talking about my hair and somebody somewhere else says, oh, you called me bald.
02:01Why would I do that?
02:03So, but Ikta, tell us something, because, you know, a lot of us are outsiders that are not part of the industry.
02:09When you're looking at the industry and suddenly someone who was fairly overweight is suddenly stick thin, is it the anti-inflammatory diet that you're talking about?
02:17For some people it is.
02:18Like I know Vidya's on anti-inflammatory, she's lost a lot of weight.
02:21And I know I did an anti-inflammatory 40-day diet with Amura, 60-day diet just before my birthday.
02:29I lost six, seven kgs, but I got stuck there.
02:32Clearly, either I've cheated too much or something has gone wrong.
02:37But yeah, I think a lot of our weight issues come from inflammation, that's a fact.
02:43But there are some who are not on anti-inflammatory diets, but possibly on a Zampik or Manjaro.
02:48And that's really fine, that's really fine.
02:50I'm quite okay, in fact I'm thinking of trying one of them in the next few months.
02:53Because I'm like, I'm getting stuck now, I'm on a plateau, so I need to lose some weight.
02:58For health reasons.
02:59I also, no, more my knees, I'm getting a lot of like joint pains.
03:04And that's because of inflammation.
03:06And apparently these drugs attack inflammation.
03:10But I also have IBS.
03:11So I have to be like, weigh the pros and cons and then see if I want to go for it.
03:16You know, right before you, Ikta, we had a full session where we had doctors from LA on GLP.
03:22So it's something that you're actually looking at, you know.
03:24I'm actually on natural GLPs, I've got this really nice tablet which has berberine and probiotics.
03:30But the injectable GLPs, I'll have to find out about.
03:34But I'm going to do my full research because if I'm anything, if no one knows that I'm into, I'm into health in a big way.
03:42I read a lot about supplements, I read a lot about things.
03:45But that's, A, that's very honest of you to say because you're doing it for health reasons.
03:50You say you have issues with your own reasons.
03:51Even if I'm doing it for my own body reasons, how does that make a difference to anybody?
03:55I agree.
03:56Like, what is anyone's problem?
03:58If someone's lost weight through Ozympic and they're looking great and they're happy about their life, how does it make a difference to anybody?
04:04And someone who doesn't want to do Ozympic has gained a lot of weight and is still okay with their body, how is it a problem to anybody?
