Rishi Kapoor was the ultimate star of the Indian film industry. His stardom was such that girls would write love letters to him with their blood. With films like Bobby, Khel Khel Mein, Saagar, Prem Rog, Kabhi Kabhie, Karz, Chandni, Rishi Kapoor proved his mettle in acting. Rishi Kapoor’s bond with his audience was tremendous, but he never shared a warm bond with his son, Ranbir Kapoor.

“The distance that exists between us is similar to the one between my father and me. Ranbir and I see each other through this space but can’t feel each other. At least, I can’t. There are times when I feel I’ve missed out on being a friend to my son.”

In the same excerpt, Rishi mentioned how Ranbir is friends with Neetu Kapoor and not him, he said:

“I was a strict father because I was brought up to believe that’s how a father should be. In one of his interviews, Ranbir said, ‘My father is not a friend. He is a father. I can’t backslap him and joke around with him.’ He is a friend to Neetu but not to me, and that’s something I deeply regret.”

The very next day, he had gone to Delhi to pick up his father, and the two then had flown to New York for Rishi Kapoor's treatment.

It was on April 30, 2020, when Rishi Kapoor breathed his last and left for the heavenly abode.
