Rishi Kapoor’s recently launched biography titled Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored, reveals secrets about his life. It was always known that Ranbir and Rishi have shared an awkward relationship. Son Ranbir Kapoor’s foreword confirms that the two did not share a friendly relationship.
During an interview with India Today, Rishi confessed saying, “… there is something I am really sorry about. We don’t have friendship between us probably because my father didn’t do that. I mean I love him and he is my only son but he is closer to his mother.”
Ranbir’s foreword to his father’s biography confirms this as he writes:
“I am closer to my mother. I feel that Dad modelled his relationship with me on the one he shared with his own father. And it is true that I have never crossed a certain line with him. But there is no sense of loss or vacuum here. I do wish sometimes that I could be friendlier with him or even spend more time with him.”
Learning from his childhood Ranbir promises to not follow his father’s footsteps when he is a father himself. He writes, “When I get married and have children, I would want to change that dynamic with them. I don’t want my relationship with my children to be as formal as the one I have with my father. I want to be friendlier, be more connected, spend more time with them than he did with me.”
But without a second thought, though not friends, the two immensely respect each other.
“I love my father dearly and have immense respect for him. I’m inspired by him and never want to let him down. I know he has only my best interests at heart. He also takes care of the financial side of my work.
The book may reveal a lot more secrets. You would know only if you read it!
