He told ETimes, "This is what I want people to understand. When I'm in a space where I feel comfortable, I become my usual, bindass (carefree) self. That's just how I've always been. Everyone who's worked with me knows that I never intend to offend."

Ram Kapoor also said that he didn't feel that anyone was uncomfortable with what he said as everyone were laughing and joking. "If I had gotten the whiff that they were offended, I would have dealt with it right away," added the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain alum.

The 51-year-old also stated that he wouldn't have said it openly in front of the media people, if he had felt it was inappropriate. Ram also asked to acknowledge his justification as his character has been questioned for the first time in 25 years.

He further said that he cannot be his "obnoxious normal self," and added that he is going to "find a way to apologise to each of those team members who were offended that day on a personal level."
