GRAPE VINE

I am too critical and harsh on Ranbir: Rishi Kapoor

Rishi Kapoor is too strict a father, and when it comes to praising the work of his actor son Ranbir the veteran Bollywood star prefers being "critical" and "harsh" on him. The 63-year-old "All Is Well" actor said till now he has found his son significantly decent in "Barfi" and "Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year".

"Generally I don't like him as I am too critical and harsh but he was decent in 'Barfi' and 'Rocket Singh'," Rishi said. Son of Bollywood legend Raj Kapoor, he also recalled his childhood days when yesteryear gems Madhubala and Meena Kumari visited their house on Diwali, but regretted that he did not realize their importance during those days. The actor will next be seen in the rom-com film "Kapoor & Sons" directed by Shakun Batra.
