Ranbir describes his equation with father Rishi!

2017 is a year where many known personalities are taking the literary route to reveal, confess and give insights into the lesser understood film world. We now have all the buzz and revelation that has come out with regard to Rishi Kapoor’s autobiography Khullum Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored. There’s a lesser-known fact that his son Ranbir Kapoor has penned down a foreword for his dad’s book.

Ranbir’s foreword speaks of the formal nature of their relationship, but under it lies a vast amount of love and respect for Kapoor Sr. Here are a few excerpts from the same.

“I am closer to my mother. I feel that Dad modeled 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.”

“Sometimes I wish I could just pick up the phone and ask him, ‘Dad, how are you doing?’ But we do not have that. We do not have a phone relationship. 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.” The 34-Year old further adds.

Ranbir Kapoor further states that his father is the kind who talks to-the-point and has an opinion about everything based on his experiences in life, as projected by Father Kapoor’s Twitter Personality. On this topic, he writes “I do not have a take on his Twitter personality. All I can say is, so long as he is being honest and having fun, it’s his prerogative. Social media is something very personal. Of course, he gets himself into a spot sometimes with his frank speak, but I know he has no agenda and no hidden motive. My father is a straight arrow.”

Ranbir Kapoor‘s take on his father only builds further excitement for this book’s launch!
