[@sanjunair6385]

rishi kapoor is so honest and good to hear but burkha dutt is not letting him speak

Barkha is obnoxiously like that only!

[@rashu]

No current star can speak the way he does... From the heart. They'd be damned if they did!

[@aparnabhadbhade1816]

He's saying all this after he's older and has stopped being the main lead. Cut the new generation some slack, they will be this candid once they are his age too... as for now, just enjoy this interview and dont compare.

[@rubym38]

@@aparnabhadbhade1816 madam,he just said his uncles and father didn't want to write a biography. So, not every star who's older is candid enough to write one okay? Chup kar

[@annus108]

What is it with Indian media? They don't let the guest talk without interruptions. Why ask then?

[@viraldesai6396]

Annu S - it’s a culture Annu and I agree with you people should change their way of talking, even it irritates the listeners too, sometimes I feel like slapping the person who interrupts the other people involved in the conversation This is a part of discipline and still many people in India have yet to learn discipline

[@queenofzee]

the interviewer is horrible at her job

[@gordonfernandes157]

See, they they 1st ask questions & also provide ( put ) answers in their interviewees mouths !

[@kashishrose]

he is one of the best very humble honest and frank

[@tingneihatkuki8337]

What I love about Rishi Ji is him honestly accepting who he is and where he comes from. Definitely we will miss his contribution to the film industries and society, after watching his movies like Mulk, D Day, Raffu Chakkar, Amar Akbar Anthony.......

[@iam6951]

Wow, great person, speaks from heart, no manipulation. So honest. God bless his soul

[@kaurtheprincess8037]

Rishi kapoor ji so honest and talking respectfully about everyone. Barkha continuously interrupting him. She is addressing all the personalities with first names- so disrespectful...!! I grew up watching your movies from 70s.. lovely memories. Miss you sir.. RIP..!!

Enjoyed the interview very much. I have grown up watching Rishi Kapoor's movie & admired him since Bobby. He seemed very straight forward & HONEST. Will miss him. Rip rishi kapoor. Om shanti shanti

[@Aarti_Mehrotra]

Loved him for his movies and honesty. R.I.P Sir

[@helloreet]

The best in terms of true Punjabi & person. After seeing him it feels like u have spoken to a person from your family only.

[@synhope3746]

Well he is not Punjabi, but pashtoon or pathan.

[@worldwide875]

Syn Hope we punjabi don't particle want him so you are welcome to claim him as pastun or what ever else

[@sarasingh5353]

+Syn Hope He is Punjabi, his family belongs to Samundri village in Pakistan Punjab, they lived in Peshawar, that does not make them Pashtoon. If you move from say Punjab and start living in Sindh you will be a Punjabi.

[@ayesharaees7393]

Honest to the core. I wish he was here

[@nirvana4842]

We will miss you sorely Rishi Sir...just can't believe you are no more! Rest in peace legend!❤🙏❤

[@abhics002msrityoutub]

this interview will put a smile on yr face .... rishi kapoor 👌👌👍👍

[@shaan_Finland]

The host is just interrupting too often middle of Rishi's explanation is just too much annoying. She should let the guy talk till he ends his talking.

[@victor256in]

she can't…..she is a congi pappu puppet

[@hot123gadgetgeek]

Exactly!

[@muktigass6916]

Rishi Kapoor is a PERSONA on and off his very own. Remarkable for an actor whose father and grandfather were cinema emperors of their time... His honesty is very touching and highly admirable.

[@meninofurtado1879]

The Kapoor's are a great people. I remember when the nanny who took care of Rishi and his siblings died all the four sons had come for the funeral and carried the coffin. (Rishi was a big star then). Chimpoo (Rajeev) was in school with me, and he would carry a handicapped boy down, all the way from the second floor on his back. Rare to find such values today.

[@nakshatrarahane846]

MENINO FURTADO is it true??? if yes then it's simply great!! were you in campion school?

[@MrDnag88]

Wow.. very refreshing as a person, entertaining and full of humor.

[@NidhiSinha4U]

He was just like me. i also make mistakes and own up to it... no wonder I always felt an unknown connect with him :)

[@meeraloveify]

Omg why does she interrupt so much ? How come she is a interviewer ?

[@mrskishwarsultana3513]

Good. V goodv

[@parulpatel6686]

Wish I could write this earlier, when he was alive and read the message.... Awesome, honest actor.... And like me so many are there who loved his movies and dances and his acting, than amitabh . Loved his second inning too and after Barfi ... Big fan of Ranbir Kapoor.

[@xophiyah7101]

The award he purchased was the “Filmfare Best Actor Award” for the film Bobby. Amitabh Bachchan was also nominated for the film Zanjeer and was expected to win.

[@aamhirachanakar7446]

Today also I luv him. He was a dream boy of so many of our era. 😘😭

[@mister-Kayne]

wish this guy was my uncle; he is so honest and fun even though I am not a big fan of his I find him to be a very sincere human

[@RajiTripathi]

I recently read Rishi Kapoor's autobiography and thorougly enjoyed it. Here's just as candid here as he is in the book. Lovable chap! ❤🙏❤

[@liveletlive2392]

always enjoy his interview ! so honest

[@kaushirupasinghe]

Is this book available in Sri Lanka? I'm heart broken after 30th April and cant watch his movies without burst in to tears now. I don't get it cz he's more than twice my age, belong to a different country and speaks a different language yet I feel like personal loss. Courage to Neetu ji, his children and Kapoor family. May he attain Nibbana!!

[@YasmeenQ]

Rishi Ji is a wonderful actor and person, bless him!

[@nehakhanna134]

I love Rishi sir. Honest and intelligent

[@soveeka]

very well interview with rishi Kapoor I thought he is angry person but now not i don't think so he explained so well about past...

[@nayeld1871]

With Rishiji what you see is what you get.... No hypocrisy

[@perikaveera]

I wish I could go to heaven with him and serve him even there. Neetu was my junior at Hill Grange.

[@Chaibiskut19]

He is so funny and honest. He is a good guy.

[@priyankadubey1014]

He’s sooooooooo honest and lovely the best 😍👌🏻👍🏻

[@gurdas]

Rishi Kapoor is too cool for most of India!

[@debbie6151]

Barkha dutt is so irritating talking over Rishi Kapoor, looks like she is the star! When he said he and Neetu chose roles why is she so rude to him? Crazy!

[@queenofzee]

she is horrible at her job

[@kabitabhaumik5829]

Great human being. Unique sense of humor, loved it. Look how he felt about his co-workers' contributions to his career. Ego ke neeche dabne waala nahi. Can only think of nice things to say about him.

[@kalyanpur778]

What an honest man he was. Can't believe that he is no more

[@gitabollywoodfan5011]

enjoyed the interview & would love to read the book as Rishi kapoor was my child hood crush since watching Bobby. I always loved his & Neetu sings movies. Both had & have great chemistry.. I live title of the book "Khulam khula" - one if my child hood favourite song frm Khel Khel Mein. God bless the kapoor family.

[@mr.incognito4719]

People like Rishi Kapoor will bring Pakistan and India a peaceful future together.

[@zia005]

I was interested to watch Rishi Kapoor's interview and not Barkha, who has no audacity, courtesy, and respect for the guest. At one point I was compelled to stop watching the interview for Barkha's repeatedly interpreting Rishi Kapoor and not letting him finish his statement, apart with her choking voice and annoying appearance with layer of makeup on her face. However, I enjoyed very much talking Rishi, as usual the evergreen dashing romantic Hero, spoken magically, with his smilling soft talk.

[@ilovetunics]

this interview changed my perception of Rishi kapoor for the better

[@gp235801]

Barkha calls him Bachhan, Rishi Kapoor says Amit Ji, Barkha calls her Nargis, Rishi Kapoor called Nargis ji.

[@dennydaniel8199]

and Rajesh and Dimple ....as if she was their mother..she is an arogent lady

[@viraldesai6396]

Nocturnal Reveller - some people think that they are better than others and they don’t realise who they are talking about

[@hot123gadgetgeek]

Barkha has no manners. She's unschooled in various departments, manners, of course.

[@steppets25]

So what....they are just people ya! Well done Barkha

[@soorshehzadah6604]

What rishi kapoor and sanjeev kumar did, when amir khan gives 50% of that performance he is called perfectionist.

[@saswatabandyopadhyay3169]

I have always admired Rishi Kapoor. Nice person!

[@shivamk8092]

I don't like this woman speaking on a national TV.

[@ranjanagupta555]

Everyone has faults but he was courageous enough to accept that....

[@DrJG9]

As for credit, Deewar really needed another, stronger ramrod persona rather than the romantic Shashi Kapoor who faded in the film even with the most memorable dialogue in Indian film history. He was far better suited to the role he played in Trishul, and consequently did not faded but was a good match to the giants who played his father and half brother. Similar mismatches were for example Victor Banerjee in the role of a Pathan (where Shashi Kapoor would have suited far more) in the film Passage to India about British in India, for one. Another example is Shabana Azmi as a Bengali mother trying to manage in UK, in a film with Shirley McLaine, where either of Moushumi Chatterjee or Aparna Sen were obviously better suited, and yet another is again Shabana Azmi playing a role in Mrityudand that was far more Dipti Naval. Coming back to what Rishi Kapoor says, whenever the co stars had an equal role and were up to it, they did shine on equal footing with AB, as for instance Dharmendra did in Sholay or Vinod Khanna in at least two films where they co starred. In fact AB had a junior status in some, it was quite clear, but the reason others fell back isn't because he had clout, it's because he persisted with sincere determination.

[@Learningtofly1974]

The most underrated actor and entertainer...........love him , adore him...........

[@rozbey2504]

Sir Judah played Premnath in Karz is an iconic Bollywood villain and Mac Mohan as his henchman. He is one of those rare villains who despite of having no lines and dialogues left an remarkable effect on the audiences. “Sir Judah Kehtey hai..”
