Ranbir Kapoor Recalled Witnessing His Parents, Rishi-Neetu’s Fights, Called His Life A ‘Fire Zone’

Ranbir Kapoor is one of the most talented actors among his generation. Following in the footsteps of his parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, he made his debut with the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-film, Saawariya in 2007, post which he never looked back on his career. Despite coming from an apparently privileged background, life hasn’t really been a bed of roses for the actor. While on one hand, he struggled a lot to make his name in the film industry, on the other hand, his personal life also witnessed lots of topsy-turvy paths. And in one of his older interviews, Ranbir had talked about one such phase of his life.

Ranbir Kapoor talked about witnessing his parent’s fight

Back during the release of his film, Rockstar, Ranbir Kapoor, in an interview with The Big Picture, talked about how he has too frequently witnessed his parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh fight with one another. Referring to his on-screen character in the film growing up in a dysfunctional family environment, Ranbir revealed he used to remain awake till late at night as his parents fought, hurled abuses and broke things. He mentioned:

“See, at that time, press didn’t matter, because I was also in the fire zone. I live with my parents. Seeing them going through that phase, I was very much part of it. I was right there. I lived in a bungalow; my parents lived downstairs, I lived on the floor above. I remember sitting on the staircases for four-four hours, from 1 am to 5 am, hearing them fight, break things…”
