The popular Indian actor has been expressing his thoughts, participating in activities, and shaping perceptions of himself among the audience without any filters. His fans are loving the Ram Kapoor they yearned to meet. As the show inches closer to its finale, the contestants must reveal their darkest secrets. In the latest episode of Lock Upp’s second season, Kapoor revealed that he helped his father plan his death. His revelation made the inmates emotional.
Ram Kapoor says he helped his father ‘die’
Ram confessed to helping his father ‘die’. The actor said his father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After battling it for the first time, the cancer relapsed during COVID-19. At the age of 73, he did not want to undergo treatment again. Despite not wanting to do so, Ram was left with no choice but to stand by his father’s decision.
He said on Lock Upp 2, “His cancer relapsed during the COVID period. He called Gautami and told her that he wanted to talk to me. On the call, we discussed everything and, basically, he had decided that he didn’t wish to fight the disease anymore. He wanted to go, but he was scared of doing it alone. He still didn’t want anyone to know, but he wanted me to be there, so he point-blank asked me, ‘Can you help me in dying?’ He managed to convince me that ki main nahi karunga to woh akele karenge, so he didn’t leave me with a choice.”
Ram further added that when his father was admitted to the ICU, he was with him. The actor’s family members were not aware that no treatment was happening. “He just wanted me to hold his hand and help him go, and I had promised him that I would do it. He was scared of being alone; he wasn’t scared of dying. He said he didn’t want anyone to cry at his funeral,” Kapoor shared.
