Actor Ram Kapoor says he struggled with depression and drinking during the period he was involved with Zee TV’s Bade Achhe Lagte Hai. He describes how his condition led him to feel he became “an ugly version” of himself, and he also speaks about quitting and the personal impact of stepping away.

Kapoor also says his actions caused hurt and that he recognises he let down Ekta Kapoor. The accounts emphasize his personal reflections on mental health and substance use rather than production details, and they present the remarks as part of his broader discussion of the pressures he faced. Across the coverage, the central elements remain consistent: depression, drinking, and feelings of regret linked to his decision to quit.

The outlets differ mainly in the framing of his comments—some highlight depression and quitting, while others foreground drinking and the idea that he missed expectations—while reporting the same underlying statements from Kapoor.
