indya: Hi all indya.com users, welcome to a chat with Gautami Ram Kapoor, who is the next Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi!

guest60: If not an actress, Gautami would have been...
gautami_kapoor: I would have been a Doctor... I come from a family of doctors.

guest234: Hi Gautami this is Aastha. Just wanted to ask you, how is life going?
gautami_kapoor: Hi Aastha, I just had a baby girl and I am very happy to be a mother and also Ram's career is going so well and I'm also starting work, so I'm on a complete high... Life couldn't have been better!

guest74: Why didn't you participate on Nach Baliye 2? Any plans of getting into Nach Balite 3 when it happens?
gautami_kapoor: As for Nach Baliye 2, I had just had my daughter, Sia and also Ram was totally submerged in work and just did not have the time for rehearsals.

guest79: Being a modern woman, do you completely agree with what Tulsi has faced all along and is continuing to face?
gautami_kapoor: Yes and No. Because no matter how modern you are, at the end of the day, we have to make some adjustments and compromises and no matter how many problems Tulsi has faced, she has always come out a winner.

guest88: What does Sia mean? Its sounds good!
gautami_kapoor: It has a lot of meanings, it means, Sita (Earth) and Mamta

guest69: Hi Gautami, how are you and you baby?
gautami_kapoor: Hi, we are doing absolutely great. Thanks

guest57: One role you would die to live on reel...
gautami_kapoor: Any role for me is a dream role and to die for.

guest57: Which is your favourite colour?
gautami_kapoor: White.

guest79: You look so young... Will you feel comfortable playing the role of old Tulsi?
gautami_kapoor: Thank you for saying I look so young.... I think there should be no problem... Its all about acting.

guest74: The first gift you got from your husband...
gautami_kapoor: It was a square diamond pendant.

guest88: You both make a great pair! You should be in a show together... How about Ram is Mihir and you are Tulsi! Perfect I think. What do you say?
gautami_kapoor: Maybe as a younger Mihir and Tulsi, that would be great

guest96: How would life have been, if you hadn't met Ram?
gautami_kapoor: I think it would have been terrible... I can't think my life without him.

guest79: Normally star couples land up with no time for their kids or for themselves... How do you two manage? Also, now that you have a baby as well...
gautami_kapoor: It is very important for us to spend time together... That's why I was not working until now and Ram also tries to spend as much time as possible with Sia and we always take her with us wherever we go.

guest79: Any struggles you had experienced while entering the industry?
gautami_kapoor: No not all... It has been an absolute cakewalk.

guest93: Is your hubby the same as Jai Walia in real life also?
gautami_kapoor: He is very disciplined and meticulous, but is not as boring and short tempered as Jai Walia... He is very chilled out.

guest111: One trait of Gautami, that your fans don't know and you would love to share with us...
gautami_kapoor: That I am a very good dancer... I can start dancing anywhere!

kavv: Hi how are you?
gautami_kapoor: Hi, I'm fine thanks.. Couldn't have been better.

guest69: Don't you think it's tuff to play role of tulsi?
gautami_kapoor: Can't say about it, because there has been no confirmation as yet.

guest69: Hi Gautami, I watch you in Jeena Isika Naam Hai with your husband. I feel really happy. What you feel about your life?
gautami_kapoor: It couldn't have been better. I'm enjoying every bit of it.

guest69: I also see your baby with you in one interview. She is really cute. How you manage the professional and family life together?
gautami_kapoor: Right now I'm not working, so I'm giving Sia my complete attention, but it is going to be tough once I start working.

guest60: The first dream of yours that came true...
gautami_kapoor: That I would be an awesome mother and I think that's come true.

gautami_kapoor: There was this person who came up to me and touched my feet thinking I was Urmila Matondkar and he just refused let go and became absolutely hysterical.

guest58: How did you meet your husband?
gautami_kapoor: We met in the sets of Ghar Ek Mandir as co-stars.

parth_patel63: What is secret of your married life?
