Mumbai, July 12: Actor Ram Kapoor shared a deeply personal and emotional story from his childhood during the latest episode of Lock Upp Season 2, bringing the house to tears. The revelation came as part of a task in which contestants were asked to disclose a hidden truth in an effort to remain in the competition.

Opening up about an incident he had never discussed publicly before, Ram revealed that he was sexually abused while studying at a boarding school as a teenager. He said the experience had a lasting emotional impact and remained one of the most difficult memories of his life.

The actor explained that the traumatic incident left him feeling helpless and deeply affected during his formative years. Although he eventually confronted the situation, he admitted that recovering from the emotional scars took a long time.

Ram also shared that the person involved later expressed regret and apologised for the incident. According to the actor, those repeated efforts to seek forgiveness eventually helped him begin moving forward from the trauma.

He disclosed that very few people in his personal life were aware of this chapter, adding that his wife, Gautami Kapoor, was the only family member who knew about it until now.

The emotional confession left the Lock Upp 2 house in complete silence. Host Farah Khan was visibly moved and embraced Ram, while contestants Sufi Motiwala, Harshad Chopda and Dheeraj Dhoopar struggled to hold back their tears. Inspired by Ram’s courage, Sufi also opened up about a similar painful experience from his own life.
