Ranbir talks about his distant bond with Rishi Kapoor

Alia Bhatt has often talked about how her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, has changed since they had their daughter, Raha. Recently, Ranbir spoke about being a father and how his way of parenting is different from his father, Rishi Kapoor, and older generations. He shared his thoughts when he was announced as the new brand ambassador for a famous jewellery brand.

Ranbir Kapoor talks about his ‘distant’ relationship with Rishi Kapoor

Speaking in a video shared on the Ranbir Kapoor Kingdom YouTube channel, Ranbir said, “My father’s relationship with me had a little bit of distance; it was not like a friendship, because that’s how that generation was; there was a glass wall. But now, differently with my child, I want to break that glass wall. I want to be a friend to her, give her the wings to fly in whichever direction she wants.”

Ranbir Kapoor on balancing the Kapoor legacy with individuality

Ranbir also spoke about balancing the weight of the Kapoor legacy with his own individuality: “Once you know you have come from a family of achievers, the next generation doesn’t succeed on past laurels.

You have to take an individualistic approach, your own thought process, bringing something new to the table. If you are doing the same copy-paste of what your forefathers have done, somewhere there would be a saturation point.

So I think it’s the intention—you have to really carry a feeling, a feeling of legacy and emotion forward. If you have that in the true sense, then nothing can stop you.”
