Ram Kapoor bids goodbye to 'Swayamvar'

TV actor Ram Kapoor, who has been hosting wedding reality show 'Swayamvar' on Imagine TV since last two seasons, won't be seen in the third season because of date issues.

Ram is doing Ekta Kapoor's show 'Bade Acche Laggte Hai' and hence won't be available to shoot for 'Swayamvar', which has actress Ratan Rajput as the would-be bride this time.

It so happened that Ram accepted Ekta's offer, not realising that dates for both the shows will clash. Hence the actor had to opt out of one show. Since Ram wanted to give his hundred percent to 'Bade Acche Laggte Hai', he said goodbye to 'Swayamvar', said a source.

'Bade Acche Laggte Hai', that also stars Sakshi Tanwar, will air on Sony.
