What Ram Kapoor said about Bade Achhe Lagte Hain

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ram Kapoor shared, "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."

"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.

The show returned with two more seasons starring Nakuul Mehta and Disha Parmar.
