When Madhuri Grover questioned him about how it could be easy for a wife to watch her husband kiss another actor on screen, Ram said, "hum log aapni wife ko kitna secure aur safe aur kitna in love feel karwaate hain voh humari zimmedari hai. Maine teen baar teen different actresses ko kiss kiya hai on screen. Teeno baar Gautami ko problem nahi hui hai aur usne khushi khushi haan kaha hai kyunki usko jitna comfortable aur in love main feel karwaata hoon, she doesn't need to bother about it (It is our responsibility to make our wives feel secure, safe and loved. I have kissed three different actresses on screen on three separate occasions. All three times, Gautami had no problem with it and happily said yes because I make her feel so comfortable and so loved that she never has to worry about it)."

He added, "Indian television ka sabse first kiss maine kiya tha, lip to lip with Sakshi Tanwar. She (Gautami) said, 'make me proud', mujhe pata kitni khushi ho rahi thi usko ki mera pati history mein sabse pehla kiss kar raha hai. Toh aap bahut galat soch rahi ho (Do you know how happy she was? She was thrilled that her husband was making what was considered the first on-screen kiss in history. So, you're thinking about it completely the wrong way). I disagree with you 100%, I will give you my wife's number, you talk to her."

The kiss between Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar in Ektaa Kapoor's popular Sony TV show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain created a huge stir when it aired in 2011. The scene, which came after the lead couple Ram and Priya's marriage, was widely regarded as one of the first prolonged on-screen lip kisses between lead characters on Indian television. At a time when such intimate scenes were rare on Hindi television, the sequence sparked widespread debate and generated significant media attention.
