When Rishi Kapoor slapped Ranbir Kapoor for THIS reason

Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor never shared a typical father-son bond. As a father Rishi was very strict towards his children. In most of the interviews, Rishi himself admitted that he didn’t want to be friendly with his children like other fathers. In an interview with Simi Garewal, he said, “I am not that kind of father who is on back-slapping terms with his son.” He said that out of respect he was always very scared of his father Raj Kapoor. He said that kind of father-son relationship had been the same as his father Raj Kapoor had with his dad Prithviraj Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor had with his dad. Neetu Kapoor who was also on the show said that Ranbir always talks to his father with his eyes down out of respect.

We all know that Rishi Kapoor was arrogant and short-tempered. There was an incident when Ranbir was slapped by his dad. Ranbir was 12 years old. Ranbir did not know that he must not wear footwear to the pooja room. When Rishi saw him wearing slippers and entering the pooja room, he got angry and slapped his son. Post this incident, Ranbir was scared of his dad.

In 2018, when Neetu Kapoor broke the news of Rishi Kapoor’s cancer, Ranbir broke into tears. That was the time Ranbir got closer to his dad and he was by his side when Rishi was undergoing treatment for cancer in New York. It was Ranbir who insisted that his father should move to New York to get the treatment. Ranbir used to visit his parents in NYC with his alleged girlfriend, Alia Bhatt.

Also, at the Zee Cine Awards, during the acceptance speech after getting the Best Actor Award for his performance in ‘Sanju’, Ranbir was all praise for his parents specially his dad. He said, “I would like to dedicate this award to 2 very special people in my life, starting with my father. My father is going through a little bit of a rough patch in his life. I’ve often heard when you come into some kind of crossroads in life you can really tell who you are as a person and what you are. Very often, when I meet him or whenever I talk to him he only talks about movies.”
