Veteran actor, Rishi Kapoor recently released his biography titled, 'Khullam Khulla - Rishi Kapoor Uncensored'. At the book launch held on Tuesday, Rishi Kapoor was joined by his family, mum Neetu Singh and daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni.
At the event, Rishi Kapoor spoke about his relationship with his father, Raj Kapoor, and how that affected his relationship with his son, Ranbir Kapoor.
Talking about his father at the launch, Rishi said, "For me, Raj Kapoor was not only a father. He was my guru, whatever I am today is because of him. When we were kids we knew that we were children of someone very important because wherever we went people looked at us as Raj Kapoor's sons."
"I never argued with my father and it so happened that unfortunately, the same kind of relationship passed on with me and Ranbir. I really want that there should be love and respect between us. But I am not the type of guy, who will ask him (Ranbir) to share secrets of his girlfriends and all that. I am sorry. It's my failure. I want there to be a wall between me and him where I can see him, but can't feel him," he further added.
He went on to add that as he was largely away due to work when Ranbir was growing up, Ranbir grew much closer to Neetu. Rishi revealed, "Probably he felt that he needs his father, but I'm sorry I just can't. Ranbir feels that when he is going to have kids, he is not going to be like me."
It's a generation gap. I cannot be a friend to a son. You must accept me the way I am
"It's a generation gap. I cannot be a friend to a son. You must accept me the way I am," he concluded.
