Ranbir Kapoor and Raha

Ranbir Kapoor on fatherhood
In a video posted on the YouTube channel Ranbir Kapoor Kingdom, the actor was seen comparing his relationship with his late father, Rishi Kapoor, to his own with his daughter. "My father’s relationship with me had a little bit of distance; it was not like a friendship, because that’s how that generation was; there was a glass wall. But now, differently with my child, I want to break that glass wall. I want to be a friend to her, give her the wings to fly in whichever direction she wants," Ranbir said.
He also opened up about the Kapoor legacy, emphasising on the importance of an individualistic approach. He said, "Once you know you have come from a family of achievers, the next generation doesn’t succeed on past laurels. You have to take an individualistic approach, your own thought process, bringing something new to the table. If you are doing the same copy-paste of what your forefathers have done, somewhere there would be a saturation point. So I think it’s the intention—you have to really carry a feeling, a feeling of legacy and emotion forward. If you have that in the true sense, then nothing can stop you."
When Alia Bhatt spoke about Ranbir Kapoor as a father
Earlier, Ranbir's wife and actor Alia Bhatt had shared her perspective on how he has transformed as a father. Speaking to Esquire India, she described him as more sensitive saying, "He’s shy, so he holds a lot back. But with her, he’s incredibly expressive. His eyes, his face, everything lights up. He almost becomes a child himself."
Alia also spoke about Ranbir’s constant eagerness to spend time with their daughter, Raha. "He would go for a shoot and literally run home. He’d run straight into the room to see her. His love is very obvious. He can’t help himself," she shared.
On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor is currently working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. Later, he also has Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana with Sai Pallavi and Yash in the pipeline, followed by Animal Park.
