Ram Kapoor, who is one of the popular names of the television industry and has been part of successful shows like Kasamh Se, Bade Acche Lagte Hain, recently opened up about the money television actors make by working in daily soaps.During a podcast with Humans of Bombay, Ram pointed out that the income made from successful television shows has the potential to secure the future of several generations. However, he also highlighted that careless handling of finances can result in a downfall in one's professional journey.He said, "When you make it to the top like Ronit Roy, Sakshi, and me, and you are sensible with your investments… There were a lot of people who had hit shows, but they spent more money than they should have, and when that show shut down they didn’t get another show.
They did not do well and disappeared."The Udaan actor also appreciated fellow actor Ronit Roy for making wise and thoughtful investments, “People like a Ronit… he has a lot of houses, vacation homes, and such a fantastic villa in Goa. He has been sensible because he started in films and he didn’t make it in films. He was a flop actor in films and he didn’t have money to eat. Then Ektaa Kapoor took him on. On television, he never looked back.
He had seen failure so when he got success, he respected it from day one," he said.Not just Ronit Roy, Ram also mentioned about Sakshi Tanwar's simple and sensible way of living. He said, “Same for Sakshi. She is a very sensible girl. She doesn’t like fancy cars like I do. She has enough money for six generations because she spends it very wisely. If you spend money wisely, then you will have money for a lot of things on television."Ram Kapoor began his acting journey on television with the show Nyaay in 1999. Over the years, he appeared in several popular serials such as Heena, Ghar Ek Mandir, Kabhi Aaye Na Judaai, and the widely loved Bade Acche Lagte Hain. Apart from television, he has also been part of Bollywood films including Karthik Calling Karthik, Agent Vinod, Student of the Year, and Humshakals.
