Showbiz desk

RANBIR Kapoor is trying to make the best of his carefree days. Knowing well that he might not be able to enjoy roaming around freely after his debut film Saawariya hits the theatres on November 9, Ranbir Kapoor has asked his parents to buy him a cycle. Is he getting it? No!

While his dad Rishi Kapoor has no problem in satisfying his son's demand, his mom Neetu Kapoor has put her foot down. A source close to Ranbir says, "Ranbir wants a cycle for a long time now. He has been trying to convince his mom, but it's just not happening."

When contacted, Rishi confirmed that he is not averse to his son's demand. "Mere ko koi problem nahin hai (I have no problem) But, Ranbir's mom doesn't like the idea of him riding a cycle or a bike," he says.

When contacted, Neetu confirms and says, "Yes, Ranbir wants a cycle. It could be that he feels that he would knock off some extra calories by cycling. I don't know why exactly he is asking for a cycle, but I have said 'no' to him."Neetu feels that riding a cycle is dangerous. "That's the only reason why I am firm that he shouldn't ride one," she adds. Even otherwise, Neetu has been a strict mother. She is known to monitor Ranbir's pocket money and makes sure that it does not exceed a certain amount. Even today, the Saawariya hero is not given more than Rs 200 per day!
