Ranbir Kapoor's foreword for his father's autobiography 'Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored' has grabbed all the attention as it reveals about the kind of equation he has with his mom and dad. The actor who is close to his mother termed his relationship with his father as a 'formal' one.
Ranbir writes,"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." (sic)
"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." (sic)
As the father-son bond is quite formal, Jr. RK doesn't want to have same kind of equation with his own kids. He shares," 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." (sic)
"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." (sic)
Even though things are not quite friendly between them Ranbir loves his father a lot and calls him as a source of inspiration! The 34-year-old actor writes, "I love my father dearly and have immense respect for him. I'm inspired by him and never want to let him down. I know he has only my best interests at heart. He also takes care of the financial side of my work. So we are more connected now." (sic)
"His confidence in me and my work makes me take pride in it. I persevere that much harder because of this. His belief and his encouragement are important to me." (sic)
Calling Rishi as a 'straight arrow', he wrote," 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." (sic)
Well, if just the foreword of a book can reveal a lot of things, imagine how many things will be disclosed after the autobiography gets published.
