Let's talk about your father-in-law, Raj Kapoor?
He was the most knowledgeable and interesting person I have met in my life. We were like buddies and every evening, I would go and sit with him for an hour in his bedroom atChembur, just him and me and he would talk to me about life and I would come out enriched. There was this one lady in our family, who would always humiliate me whenever I went to her to touch her feet. Everyone except him knew about that. He was in the hospital with all kinds of pipes on his body about to die when we went to see him at the hospital and this lady was also there. All through the journey back in the car with my husband, I had tears in my eyes. Just when we reached home, my mother-in-law called and said, 'Don't ever touch that lady's feet again, papa ne bola hai.' He had seen her misbehaving with me even in that state. He would see your emotion without you having to say it. That quality my Ranbir has.
Let's talk about Ranbir?
He will see my face and say, 'Mom, what is wrong with you?' He is extremely sensitive and caring. Ranbir is simple at heart. Bob is good-hearted, a great actor but simple, no. Bob has the Kapoor arrogance that is not bad, but it is an attitude. But Ranbir's nature is like mine. I call him yogi. He can read a person. I have never seen him excited in the house and he is always in this zen kind of state. He just wants to do his work and be good to everybody. He is my pillar and always makes things simple for me. He leaves goodness wherever he goes and I feel so happy when people tell me he is humble. He doesn't like anybody talking rudely to the servants at home. Till today, he will not talk to my husband looking in his eyes. He will whisper and then I repeat it to Bob. When Bob would come home, he would go to his room and not interact with him. Ranbir has the same relation with Bob what Bob had with his father. Their relationship was so formal that Bob addressed his father as 'Sir'. Ranbir was brattish as a child. But there was this one phase when he was 15, when I went through a lot of rebellion with my husband. It made me stronger, it changed my husband and made Ranbir the way he is.
Is it true that you control Ranbir vis-a-vis his girlfriends?
I have never ever bothered about his girlfriends. I used to get angry with a certain girlfriend when he was entering movies, as he would not sleep well. I knew from experience that an actor has to have good sleep to look fresh. But I have never told him who I like and who I don't like. His girls are his life. He has to spend his life with her. She should love him and keep the family together. I remember how many times I have kept upvas and asked mannats from Santoshi Maa for my husband. Being in the film line, she needs to be strong and be there for him. I just want the right girl for my Ranbir and feel that satisfaction that she looks after him.
