‘Ranbir Can’t Be Compared to Rishi Kapoor, Baap Baap Hota Hai,' says Shatrughan Sinha

Just a few days ago, two supremely talented actors and gems of Bollywood: Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor passed away due to cancer. It was a heartbreaking moment for their family, fans and friends. Right from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amitabh Bachchan to many others of the film fraternity, everyone mourned the loss of the two actors.

Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha too expressed his grief towards the loss.  Talking about Irrfan, Shatrughan Sinha told Mumbai Mirror, “Irrfan was a combination of struggle, determination and conviction. He made his dream come true through hard work. I watched Hindi Medium and Angrezi Medium and his acting will be a textbook experience for younger generation of actors.”

Sinha also lauded Rishi Kapoor and said: “After Rajendra Kumar and Rajesh Khanna, he became the poster boy of romance with his style."

However, he also went on to said that you can't compare actor Ranbir Kapoor with his late father Rishi Kapoor. “But Ranbir has big shoes to fill because baap baap hota hai. One can’t compare the two at the moment” he remarked.

Meanwhile, Shatrughan Sinha is currently under lockdown with his family- wife Poonam Sinha, daughter and actress Sonakshi Sinha. He is spending this free time by watching movies and shows. 

On the work front, Sinha will be next seen in Brahmastra starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Shamshera opposite Vaani Kapoor and Luv Ranjan's next along with Shraddha Kapoor.
