When Rishi Kapoor spoke about the kind of son as well as father he has ever been in life
In one of his older interviews with Anupam Kher on a chat show, Rishi Kapoor had reminisced about the kind of bonding that he shared with his father, Raj Kapoor. He mentioned how his father never had a communicative bonding with him or his brothers, Randhir and Rajiv, since he was always busy at work. Thereafter, he compared the scenario with him being a father to his son, Ranbir, and revealed how he made salient changes in his parenting style, so that he could spend more time with his kids. He had mentioned:
“He (Raj Kapoor) did not have time for his children. Either he was working for someone, or he was directing and starring in his own movies. So, when I became a father, I decided to not shoot on Sundays and dedicate that day to my kids. So, with every generation, thinking changes. I know what I missed out with my father, so I made sure to fill in those gaps.”
