There are various celebrities competing with each other and trying to secure their place for the finale. Recently, Harshad Chopda put Ram Kapoor at risk by choosing to reveal his secret. Ram Kapoor’s emotional confession left everyone in tears at the show as it was related to his father.

Ram Kapoor said that he had helped his ailing father plan his final days and because of that decision his mother and sister have not spoken to him for more than five years. He said that his father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and at the age of 63 the surgery was not an option. He said that his father underwent 18 sessions of chemotherapy and his father’s cancer was almost cured. He said that his father lived a good life until the age of 73.

The actor added that when his father’s cancer relapsed, it was a Covid era. He said that he was in Singapore during that time. He said that his father talked over the phone and told him that he didn’t want to fight it anymore and instead wanted to die peacefully. The actor said that his father was afraid of doing it alone and didn’t want anyone else to know.

Ram Kapoor revealed that his father asked him over the phone. The actor said his father asked him, ‘Can you help me die?’ . The actor said that his father managed to convince him and said that his father did not give him a choice.

The actor revealed that his father made him promise not to tell anyone about his decision and asked him not to leave him alone in the ICU. Ram added, “No one knew there was no treatment happening. He just wanted me to hold his hand and help him go. I had promised him I would do it, but I didn’t know if I would be strong enough. Somehow he knew that Ram could do this. He was scared of being alone, but he wasn’t scared of dying. He said, ‘I don’t want anyone to cry at my funeral. If I die, I want you to cremate me the very same day.’ Somehow, I held his hand, and every day I helped him go. My mother and my sister still don’t talk to me. It’s been more than five years. But I think it’s one of the best things a child can do for their parents.”

Ram Kapoor said that witnessing the death of his father so closely changed his perspective on life. He said that it was only after his father’s passing that he truly began living his life. After hearing Ram Koopr’s story, the Lock Upp house got emotional. Harshad, who revealed Ram Kapoor’s secret then also recalled losing his own mother to cancer.
