Ranbir Kapoor is currently one of the most popular actors in Bollywood and has given several blockbusters in his career. He recently appeared on Nikhil Kamath’s YouTube channel for a podcast and spoke about his personal life for the first time. He talked about his relationship with his late father Rishi Kapoor and his demise in 2020 impacted him.
Talking about his death, Ranbir said, “You know it’s funny I didn’t cry when my father passed away.” The ‘Animal’ actor revealed that when the doctor informed him that it was his father’s last night he had a panic attack. “I was like, ‘I don’t know how to express myself. I don’t know what was happening, it’s too much to take.’ But I don’t think I have grieved,” he said.
While talking about his relationship with his father, he said, “My father was a very short-tempered man, but he was a good man. He was someone who really loved his food, loved his work, loved his family, and loved his alcohol. He was a very open person.”
Ranbir added, “He never shouted at us, he never raised a hand, but just being around him was… his temperament was so volatile… it scared me.”
The ‘Barfi’ star earlier talked about being labelled as toxic on social media. During a live fan interaction, he said, “Hey, I’m not on social media so I don’t have the need to deal with it which is a great thing. But I feel negativity is very important especially if you are an artist and if you have some work out there I think both need to exist because then that creates a balance. You know sometimes a lot of things are written about you as an actor, a lot of opinions are made which are not necessarily true and if you take it for a pinch of salt because this image of mine which has been created by the movies or the characters I play or by media is something that I don’t own.”
On the work front, Ranbir will next star in ‘Love & War’ along with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.
