Rishi Kapoor was one of the most loved actors of Bollywood. When he had made his acting debut with the film, Bobby, he had become every girl’s dream man. Just like Rishi Kapoor, his son, Ranbir Kapoor too enjoys a huge fanbase and could make any girl go weak on the knees with his dapper looks. Talking about the father-son bond, Ranbir had always wished to be friendlier with his father, Rishi.
It was on April 30, 2020, when Rishi Kapoor had bid adieu to the world, leaving behind his grieve-stricken family, friends and fans. The 68-year-old-actor was fighting cancer and had freed himself from the pain and had left for the heavenly abode. Since Rishi Kapoor’s death, his kids, Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni had become their mother, Neetu Kapoor’s strongest pillars of strength.

Talking about the same in an interview with the Times of India, Ranbir said:
“I really wish my father was alive to see this film. He has always been blatantly honest about his criticism if he has liked something or not liked something, especially with my work. So, it’s sad that he’s not going to see it. But I am really excited that I got to do a film like this and I hope that somewhere up there he is looking out for me and he is proud of me.”
