Actor Ranbir Kapoor shared a very strained relationship with his father Rishi Kapoor, who passed away in 2020 after battling cancer. In 2015, Rishi Kapoor had emotionally admitted to have “screwed up” his equation with his actor son.
Rishi was taken aback by Ranbir’s decision to move out of the family home in 2014. In a 2015 interview with Mumbai Mirror, Rishi had spoken at length about how Ranbir’s decision left him and wife Neetu Kapoor heartbroken.
“My father gave me space when I moved out after marriage and I give Ranbir his space too when he decided to move out and share a home with his girlfriend. In this house, he had one room: how could that be enough for a 33-year-old boy? He’s a great son, he listens to me but I don’t interfere in his career because my career is mine and his is his. I know I’ve screwed up my relationship with Ranbir even though my wife kept telling me about what I was doing. It’s now too late to change it; both of us will not be able to adjust to the change. It’s like there’s this glass wall, we can see each other, we can talk, but that’s it. He doesn’t live with us anymore, which is also a very big setback to Neetu and me,” Rishi told Mumbai Mirror, according to Hindustan Times.
Further elaborating on their equation, Rishi had said, “Out of respect I was always very scared of my father. I don’t know about Ranbir; of course he respects me, but I’ve never been friends with him and that is my biggest drawback. It’s also a deep regret but again, I don’t know. Only time will tell if it is something that’s good or not.”
Ranbir tied the knot with actress Alia Bhatt in April 2022, two years after Rishi’s death. Ranbir and Alia welcomed their first child together, a baby girl, in November last year. Ranbir is currently gearing up for the release of Animal.
