Ram, a known name at the small screen, isn't the quintessential hero. His weight issues added to the charm of his character, also named Ram Kapoor within the show, which started because the story of a middle-aged mismatched couple who find love after an arranged marriage.
But a contemporary promo of a unique episode, an integration of "Bade Achche Lagte Hain" and "Kya Huaa Tera Vaada", indicates Ram may be at the receiving end of a gunshot, and can be taken to a hospital. But doctors inform his family that they couldn't save him.
Asked about his rumoured exit from the show, Ram told: "No comments."
When we contacted his wife, actress Gautami Kapoor, she too refused to present an immediate comment.
However, a source told: "Ram is leaving 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain'. Maybe he desires to concentrate only on his film career, for this reason he's walking out of the show."
That is usually a strong possibility considering the sudden barrage of movies he has in his kitty. After featuring in films like "Udaan", "Agent Vinod" and "Student Of The Year", Ram will now be seen in Yash Raj Films' "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" in addition to in Asha Bhosle's first acting project "Maaee".
However, Ram's exit from "Bade Achche Lagte Hain" is usually a big blow to the Ekta Kapoor show, which features actress Sakshi Tanwar as Ram's wife Priya.
The soap, which airs on Sony, is currently at a very important juncture, considering an ongoing custody case between Ram and Priya for his or her daughter Pihu.
The show took a five-year leap earlier this year and completed a successful run of 300 episodes earlier this month.
