released on Friday and his performance has
been appreciated by all.
In an interview with a leading tabloid, the
actor got candid about his famous parents -
Rishi and Neetu Kapoor.
"My personality is more like hers than my
father's. My sister (Riddhima) is more like my
father," Ranbir revealed to the tabloid.
Rishi Kapoor is known to be very vocal
about his opinions especially on Twitter. On
this, Ranbir feels like he doesn't have the
openness of his father. The actor said, "I
can't be like my father. He's one of a kind.
He's so honest, which is admirable. He'll
have no guilt or baggage in his life. He'll
always be a free man. We're all, at some
level, hypocrites. If there's a political
question at a press conference, I'll have a
hypocritical answer, or I'll clam up, or
wriggle out of it. But he won't. And he
regards himself as junta. So if he has an
opinion on politics, sports, entertainment,
ban on a certain food, he will give it. He feels
he has that freedom of
speech. Unfortunately, he's an actor, so that
gets blown out of proportion, or gets taken
too seriously. I don't think I have that
frankness, openness."
So did Ranbir grow up being closer to his
mom? "I think that's true (for kids) in most
Indian families, where the father is away
at work and is a strict person. Growing up,
we hardly saw our father. Back then, they
used to do two shifts a day, six movies a
year. We could only see him during holidays
in Ooty, Kashmir or Switzerland. He'd be
shooting there, and we needed a holiday, so
we'd go where he was," Ranbir stated.
Initially, there were some marital problems
between Rishi and Neetu. On whether it
affected him as a child, Ranbir said, "Not at
all. Besides the problems they went through,
the greater thing is how they came out of it.
I still see so much passion, love and respect
between my parents. My father is still so
possessive about her. My mother is still so
inquisitive about how he's doing. It's been
38 years. So, no, I don't think there's a scar. I
feel happy when I see them together.
They've found a healthy companionship."
