Ram Kapoor, Sakshi Tanwar's 'Bade Acche Lagte Hai' sex scene gets Twitter talking

New Delhi: Having premiered on May 30, 2011, Ram and Priya Kapoor (Saakshi Tanwar) – the ‘Bade Acche Lagte Hai’ couple – finally had sex on last night’s episode – March 12, 2012.

The sex scene was one of the most talked about topics on Twitter and the jokes were mostly on the over-weight Ram Kapoor.

The sex-scene got Twitter all fluttering – Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar trended overnight.

Here's looking at the couples that rock the small screen with their sizzling chemistry...
Three years and this love story where the couple (Hina Khan - Karan Mehra) discovers love after marriage is still going strong.
The child woman Iccha (Tina Dutta) loved, lost and again found her man (Nandish). And the love story with twists and turns galore continues...
He (Dilip Joshi) may eye another woman but finds camaraderie in his equally funny wife (Disha Vakani). Expect the unexpected from this popular couple.
The tough exterior has a heart too. Hitler Didi (Rati Pandey) and her soft corner for her tenant (Sumit Vats) are generating a lot of interest for sure.
Did they marry, did they not? The marital confusion took its time to sort out. Meanwhile the love story between the good-looking couple (played by Dipika Samson-Shoaib Ibrahim) won its share of audience.
Fitting into an all-male house with the able support of her loving hubby (Ravi Dubey), Toasty (Aishwarya Sakhuja) wins hands down in her endeavors to keep the family together.
His prospective sister-in-law becomes his bride with his brother's sudden demise. The marriage of convenience is developing into a tender love story between the handsome Sameer Soni and the sweet Kirti Nagpure.
When the slick, smart and serious Arnav Raizaada (Barun Sobti) meets the small town chatterbox Khushi (Sanaya Irani), there's instant chemistry. Their love-hate relationship has oodles of passion to make them arguably the most sizzling couple on the tube.
Their love story has stood the test of time, literally speaking. The on-screen lovers (Avinash Sachdev - Rubina Dilaik) carried their love off the sets too and now are back with the second season of 'Choti Bahu'. Love revisited!
Child marriage, adulthood and now adultery, this couple has braved it all. And despite there being another woman on the scene, the audience hopes Jagya (Shashank Vyas) sees sense and returns to Anandi (Pratyusha Banerjee).
They are the answer to the mid-age singletons. The marriage of convenience, which is slowly but surely turning into a beautiful relationship is dealt with reasonable maturity and fine performances by Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar.
When the naughty Punjaban (Sara Khan) meets the silent Gujarati (Sujay Reu), there are fireworks for sure. Though the show is high on its drama quotient, it's the lighter moments between the lead pair that wins the day.
The age factor deftly dealt with in this love story is inspired from the Pakistani hit show 'Dhoop Kinare'. The suave doctor (Mohnish Behl) and his vivacious intern (Kritika Kamra) set the stage for a love story with a difference.
This cute couple's (Krystal D'souza - Karan Tacker) inability to find time and space for themselves brings its own sets of problems. Interesting watch!

Ram-Sakshi sex scene gets Twitter talking

The Ram and Priya Kapoor sex scene trended almost instantly on Twitter with jokes on the actors flooding the site

Rohan Joshi tweeted - “Disappointed to hear that at no point during the scene did Ram Kapoor yank off his pants and yell "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!"

While KaamwaliBai said – "Ram Kapoor is d Sunny Leone of Balaji telefilms."

The best however being –

"Why is Ram Kapoor like our Electricity Board?" "Why?" "He has shed his load" "Facepalm" #NothingBetterToDo" – tweeted Narendra Shenoy.

As one of the most watched daily soaps on Sony Television inches on painfully amidst regular ‘soap-family’ debacles, the protagonists – Ram and Priya – have also been supremely patient in consummating their ‘love’. Mind you – they have had threats of a vicious mother-in-law, exes dropping out of nowhere, biological parents, a near divorce and a breast cancer scare.

Caught in an arranged marriage – the protagonists – the middle aged couple – Priya and Ram, as the story goes, were married more as a compromise rather than any mutual compatibility. But as all love stories on prime time should go – the middle class, sensible, educated woman learns to change and finally fall in love with the egotistic rich businessman.

To update the blissfully unaware – the act itself lasted the entire episode – starting with a kiss to shut the wife up, the fight about how he should not touch her unless he really wants to (Priya has already told him the three magic words – and no – not ‘Let’s do it!’) for he has not reciprocated her feelings, an angry declaration of love – and then the dutiful wife finally bolts the door.

The audience would have probably exploded in to celebratory exaltations – but must have soon tired out. For between the verbal teasing, the foreplay, the candles, taking off the jewelry and clothes and more foreplay – the ordeal lasted for ever. And one could not possibly ignore the sappy romantic score running all along.

It took the couple 6 months (or more) in to their marriage and 9 months, 12 days (real time) to finally get in to the same bed and decide to stay there. Fine, we all get how important platonic love is – but this was excruciating. Clearly – one of the longest (not in a nice way), most unnecessarily drawn out love-making scenes ever. Clearly the climax was supremely important (all puns intended).

Celebrating the power of platonic love begetting physical love aside – a bad feeling plagues – all wives who saw the episode last night – may just want their husbands to do a ‘Ram Kapoor’.

Indian television is still a good few decades immature when it comes to sex on the TV screen. So much for all the matured relationships and relevant themes – love making on Indian TV is as painful and archaic as the shaking flowers replacing actors on screen when they kiss or make love. A small sigh of relief and Ekta Kapoor and the director can congratulate themselves for the real onscreen peck on the lips.

A recent issue of a particular Sunday publication – called Ram Kapoor- the ‘Indian husband we love’. The couple is immensely likable no doubt – they do not have the nagging, irritating, saccharine sweet or the revolting chemistry of most TV couples – and are probably more normal to the eye than most of the dolled up counterparts who live life in slo-mo acts of love. However - we have a very bad feeling that Ekta Kapoor produced ‘Bade Acche Lagte Hai’ is probably speeding headlong in to that universe anyway.
