He also admitted that there was a time when he would finish an entire KFC bucket on his own.Ram said, “When I was shooting Neeyat in Scotland, I was at my worst. I was taking insulin shots thrice a day, before every meal. I was 140 kg, and my sugar was at ridiculous heights. My doctor told me that I’m working so much and I’m so unhealthy, I could have a diabetic stroke. That’s how unhealthy I was. I had to do a transformation, otherwise I would not have long to live.”During the chat, he shared that he promised his son that he would start taking better care of himself when he turned 50. He emphasised that he is still a work in progress.He also shared that his doctor had given him a serious warning — either lose weight or risk facing a major health crisis. Ram shared, “A doctor told me that I would have to start Ozempic or Monjaro because of the bad shape I was in. I would’ve had a diabetic stroke otherwise. If I had not gotten fit, I would have 100% taken it, because I trust my doctor. He looks after my entire family, and he’s a friend. He said, ‘You have two options, you either change yourself, or tu mar jayega (you will die)’.”
