My Father, Rishi Kapoor - Ranbir Kapoor Opens Up

[@acidicascetic]

Ranbir needs a hug. Rishi Kapoor was a great actor, but - by his own admission - had real failings as a father. Kudos to Ranbir for his honesty.

[@jamsvisionbangla5141]

i was mind blown at how much Ranbir expressed himself. He truly loved talking with Nikhil Kamath. The way he just started expressing all his feelings regarding his own relationship dynamic with Rishi Kapoor felt really wholesome.

[@maddy-nc9gb]

I feel neetuji also seems a bit open & happy after rishi kapoor passed away. Not that she didn't love him or doesn't miss him but she is being herself now

[@JBM0411]

As kapoor men never allowed their women to work etc.. Restricted life.. Kareeena karisma could as babita left her husband.. Their father was a flop actor.. Babita was too but she Walked out of his life

[@zzzzz653]

@@JBM0411Babita also does not have a reputation of a good person. So let’s not get into how their personal lives too much. Not all women like to work outside the house. I am willing to bet that if their husbands are making good money majority of women would prefer to not go through the drudgery of office work but stay home.

[@mayuradeshpande8832]

I 100% agree with you. Neetu Singh seems a much happier person now she is lovely and deserves to be happy.

It's kind of hurts when parent doesn't appreciate your hardwork

[@gracysequeira2157]

It takes a lifetime to talk-about our childhood trauma and then it takes years to find that one person to connect,Trust and listen to us.

[@arsalanhasan2953]

I think this is raw emotion there. He just expressed about his childhood and his dynamic with his father. It make sense to me why he scared of get sattled with one person. But seeing him with his daughter feels like he is breaking the cycle of father-son toxic dynamic. Which tbh we all faced to some degree.

[@TheCuriousbella]

When I watched Ranbir in Animal, I remembered him in barfi, rocket singh, rockstar, ajab prem.., wake up sid, etc. There was a pre existing impression of his, an affection, admiration for his tremendous versatility. Raw. Refined. Genuine. Amazing actor. And now, thanks to interviews like yours, we are getting to know him even more closely. And the same words come forth - raw, genuine, loving, evolving... Amazing person.

I can relate .. parents fights is the worst thing u see .. mother is someone who gives chances to her partner ..she was from a good family thats y didn't had the courage to leave a toxic man like him .. my father is ditto like rishi kapoor..all kapoors are same full of anger , love only for alcohol thats all that matters in their life

[@Nairrrrrrr]

Daddy issues spotted.

[@gudiakapoor-ou3yy]

@user-cd6eb1in5x no .. its just sometimes a married woman think about her family more than herself.. i meant this

[@amritamuttoo6397]

He was not toxic.Neetu and Rishis background was poles apart.They could never gel.

[@snehabiswas1050]

Same case for me too and even my mom minus the alcohol. More power to you buddy!!

[@mayuradeshpande8832]

Ranbir was totally honest it's sad when a child has to witness fights between his parents. Getting over childhood trauma is very important so that it does not spill unknowingly to his own family.

[@missren263]

Anyone following his films easily kmow his bonding with his father its not ideal one but its not worse. We cant fault my dad's dad generation they were like that so coconut and angry men. I understand why ranbir is so emotional but scared of expressing his emotions why he can play vulnerable roles easily. I love this man and his dedication to his crafts plus his ideologies - honest and sincere❤ ranbir please do atleast 2 movies in a year we crave to see you. We know you are nt chasing superstar tag so it's does nt hurt you to taje a long break but ur fans deserve more films of urs on screen. Also i love ur no pr policy

[@dhanaraomunuma]

Not recommended to eat and speak together... It's distracting when the anchor looks at his phone probably for further questions and feels like not engaging but Ranbir is always special

[@Shauryaprogaming4574]

Eating while the guest is sharing his personal loss...very rude...I would have pissed off.

[@madhurisardar1284]

I feel that this Interview with Nikhil Kamath , 😅was a very Genuine, Honest , account of Ranbirs’ True Personality, and his Inner Self’ 👌👌 Loved the way he spoke Frankly about his Dad, Mum, and the Relationship Dynamics’ with both of them…. Especially about the Rows ‘ his Parents often had, but Yet , at the end of the day, they managed to stay together , and Brought up two Beautiful Children.. 😊 and also about how ‘Old School’ his Dad was…🙂 and how he understands where he comes from … Reminded me of my own Dad’ who also held ‘Old School’ Principles’ & Thoughts.. but only difference would be , he was very Liberal , Tolerant , Patient , and Loving at the same time…and expressed his love towards me , his child, in a very Warm , and Affectionate manner..😊 Thanks for sharing this Interview. 🙏 Ranbir is a Brilliant & Versatile Actor’ & Dancer too ! 👌👌 We wish him all the very Best ! 👍😊 And hope he gets to do more varied Films.. Barfi’ with another Brilliant Actor Priyanka , is my all time Favourite his. And ‘Wake Up Sid’ is another of my Favourites’ And Yeh Jawani hai Diwani! Which is a great Entertainer , just as Hiw goid a Performer Ranbir is !👌👌😊

[@specialsasha6506]

He’s so honest. We shud appreciate and not judge. ❤

[@amritamuttoo6397]

Hugging was not the order of those days.Todays random hugs and cheek to cheek mean nothing at all.

[@NidhiSharma-yn3xv]

Great ,the public figures have dared to open up to public about deepest feelings. Respect

[@DriveBA-l9o]

Appreciate Ranbir for so being honest about how a part of his childhood was, it comes from a place of maturity, seems like he is in the process of healing. Thankfully we are better aware today and are starting to have an open conversation, which is a very solid first step . Having said that, its difficult to watch the host toying with his beard/ looking judgmental/ distant/ lost & maybe some understanding the body language would be helpful for the future

[@prashantkatti118]

The only line I could connect to is he didn't feel the loss when his dad passed away. Guess I will have the same feeling when I am in that moment. Though throughout my life I have felt it as the biggest loss and my biggest fear.

[@nitinkumar871if]

The most RAW interview I have seen of a celebrity. He expresses his heart out . ❤

[@ashugurtoo4835]

This a honest interview .. Great work ... chintu ji would be proud ...🎉

[@Nonexistent098]

Being born and brought up in NYC and charlotte,NC, US, I’ve heard only about ranbhir’s infidelities. However, I’ve really enjoyed watching him in this interview. He’s introspective, kind, vulnerable, and open about his family relationships. I’m also feeling a sense of compassion and empathy for ranbhir as I also come from a Punjabi Sikh family. As with ranbhir, I feared my father deeply even to this day and never looked into his eyes, especially when he was angry. Just like rishi sab (uncle),my dad has a short temper (however my father never drank). Also, just like my mama’s ji’s in Delhi (whom I would visit during the summers as a child),I was always afraid to go to the drawing room in the evenings because I knew this was the only time my mama jis had to relax after working long hours at their businesses. This is when they would eat and drink, and so were mostly drunk. I think this was the only way they dealt with their stresses because in India, especially back then, going to therapist was extremely taboo. (IMO, I think it’s gotten better in India). I actually was a fan of his father as my mother loved watching his movies and so as a child, I grew up watching rishi kapoor movies. He was a brilliant actor, and I never once thought he was acting. He had a very romantic side which my mother loved about him. Plus, the fact that he married a Sikh gal made my mom proud love hm more! He wasn’t necessarily a great dancer, but I loved his own unique style of dancing. It was cute. The story my mom heard was that rishi Sab was totally in awe of Neetu Singh and he was the more emotional of the two. Interesting to hear that rishi sab (uncle) was not very emotional but distant toward ranbhir. I can relate to him with this as I stated above. I’m glad ranbhir has found Alia! I sensed through her interviews that she was a strong, yet emotional and compassionate woman. You can tell that she’s a confident but not cocky woman As well. She and ranbhir make a great pair. 💗💗 Thanks ranbhir for sharing a part of you and your family experiences growing up. I felt as if I was an observer in the room with you and Nikhil without any cameras on. Thanks so much for sharing again. Take good care💗🙏🏻 God bless and love to you, Alia, your mom, and of course adorable raha! 💗💗🙏🏻🙏🏻 PS I think you did a wonderful job in rocket Singh. You make a really really handsome Sikh guy! I’ve seen most of alia’s movies but am excited to see more of yours after this interview:)

[@barnalideysarker8372]

Ranbir Kapoor is quite self-aware

[@Bhushan1805]

Rishi ji was a lively character ❤

[@Elixir_h402]

How can u say so much intense emotions with this straight face .... 😥 I m afraid

[@musa7010]

Neetu kept Chintu irritated most of the time because she felt vulnerable as her husband was too dynamic and charming. In most of situations like these children think their father is at fault. And mostly they find out truth after death of father. At that stage they understand it was all fault of their mother. Any way the only thing they can do is regret not being able to love their father

[@tessawhite9]

Imtiaz Ali ( ace director on an episode of Mid-day's Sit With Hitlist series) nailed it : "You can't bully him (Rishi Kapoor), You can't give him bull shit"! Ranbir is full of it, disrespecting his great father. There are boundaries, there are family matters, there is respect for parents , regardless. Why did he choose this venue to express himself? Because behind close door with a psychologist who is actually trained to help people with these kind of mental issues , he would not be able to try to put down his legendary father in front of millions and millions people around the world who admire, cherish, and respect Rishi Kapoor not only as a great legendary one of a kind actor but also as a person. This interview is not about Ranbir opening up, its about him degrading his father's memory. Ugly man inside and outside. His father understood him and could not relate to his son even though he loved him (so many interviews you can hear it through Rishi Ji comments). Power House, humbleness (even if he always called a black spade a black spade), and intelligence of Rishi Kapoor personality are striking opposites of his son's personality. Professional jealousy is what brought Ranbir here.

[@twenty2672]

Sending so much healing and love to Ranbir Kapoor! 💜

[@snehabiswas1050]

This is the first time I'll be saying this , I have mad respect for this person . I do understand where he is coming from now and coming from the same kind of family environment , just with more intense fights , it really does shape your whole personality. Just that you go through a lot mentally that it make you too cold and quiet .

Ranbir ji, now you are a father, and you will realize what your father was going through ... year's pass by ... you might give the love and affection what you missed from your father to your children.... you will not be able to justify yourself.... it's a chain .... chill being a son of Rishi ji ...

I saw him infront of display where I worked so I tried to talk to him , he was a very quiet and young a teenager . I asked 'Are you a Rishi kapoor's son? and he just looked at me, surprised and said 'yes!'[ I was more curious to know his father than young Ranbir who wasn't celebrity yet.] So his who was in the lobby came so fast with a drink on his hand ..he was lil concern towards his son like who you talking with . I took a pic with dad not with son. [I wish I should have taken with him too..thinking future star✨]

[@user-fd7gy9zh8x]

I feel rishi never grew up and drinking didn’t help. He was used to being the baby of his star studded family and being the star and maybe there was an element of not wanting to let that go and pass that on to or share with his so, maybe felt threatened to some extent by the younger kapoor. Love Rishi kapoor, a good heart, a kind of childlike purity (and childishness on the negative )honest to the point of a fault and hurtful to his son. A kind and pure person. Some of it is the the way rishi himself related to his own larger than life and famous personality living in the shadows and trying to carve his own personality and Soace in the world and career.

[@ishygoel]

From woman to woman, take this podcast with a grain of salt. Why are you picking 10 secs out of this whole thing? He is talking about mental health issues, relationships with his family and literally talked about therapy as well. We need more men to come out and support other men in society because such issues are real, & that's how they become less violent, less agressive and be more empathetic. Why would should we as a society use entertainment to dictate our morality? I haven't watched that movie because that's my choice. Like every person is entitled to their opinion. Liking one thing doesn't make their whole personality. Grow the eff up.

[@AliHussain-fz7pd]

Ranbir and I are the same age, so it would be false to say that I watched much of his fathers work. Though, it may be cliche but I always felt the late Rishi’s personality was very much larger than life. He had that aura of patriarch, in that kind of self-assured, exuberant way. It’s not at all surprising to hear that Ranbir feels he hasn’t grieved, there are some losses that leave such a large vacuum, that you would rather not confront it and look away. Clearly, Kapoor Senior made mistakes, but nobody can accuse him of not making an impact. You need impactful characters in a family. I hope their family heal, and by extension I’m hoping therefore to see a shift in Ranbir, he is still that well-raised, humble, polite kid. I hope that he becomes a little more abrasive and assertive. Clearly as an artist, there are some underlying issues with self consciousness, and possibly guilt. It would be nice to see him shed that.
