Bollywood's famous father-son duo of Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor may have grown closer during the earlier years, but that was not always the case.
The Tamasha actor was strongly loved by his father, who never appreciated the acclaim he earned in his acting or industry.
In an unsolicited interview that made the rounds online, Ranbir opened up about why his father did not appreciate his movies.
"It's true. The thing is, my father is a very honest person. He never says anything to please anyone. My mother is a big fan of mine, everything I do is the best for her "But, my father always says something is missing. His own father used to tell him something is missing in him," he told Rajat Sharma.
'My mother once asked him, 'Why don't you ever like Ranbir? Why don't you ever like his performance?' 'He remembered a story his father had told him, that there was a young boy who used to go out on the road with his father daily and people came to see him.'
'He used to put on a good show every night, people appreciated him, he made a lot of money. And every night the boy would ask his father, how was it today? And his day will say, something is missing.'
'After several days and years and one day, the guy asked, 'I've been working so long, and I do such a good job, people enjoy my show, why do you keep saying that something Missing? ' The father says, "The day I say it was good, you will lose focus and maybe you will fall from the rope." So I think the meaning behind this story is deeper. And I respect the fact that I probably have not yet given the performance that my father is impressed by.'
Rishi died at the age of 67 on April 30, 2020, after a two-year battle with cancer.
