In a surprising and troubling development just days before the OTT release of his mystery dramedy Mistry, actor Ram Kapoor has been pulled from all promotional activities. Reports reveal that during a recent press interaction in Mumbai, Kapoor allegedly made a string of sexually inappropriate and highly uncomfortable comments that left the entire promotional team stunned.
Eyewitnesses recall an especially disturbing moment when Kapoor, while talking about work stress, reportedly said, “I feel gang-raped,” as a female journalist was setting up her microphone. This was just the beginning. He allegedly went on to make crude remarks about a colleague’s clothing, stating, “The clothes are distracting,” and later made a deeply offensive comment to a male team member, suggesting his mother should have faked illness to avoid his birth. Disturbingly, references to sex positions also peppered the day’s interviews.
Such behavior, disguised as “humor,” reportedly created an atmosphere of discomfort and shock among staff and executives. In response, the streaming platform’s officials decided to immediately exclude Kapoor from all further promotional engagements, shifting all interviews and media interactions solely to co-star Mona Singh.
With Mistry’s premiere just around the corner, this unexpected controversy adds a dark cloud over the film’s launch. The fallout raises serious questions about accountability and professional conduct in the industry—issues that can no longer be ignored or brushed aside.
