Ranbir Kapoor confesses he’s a foodie like dad Rishi Kapoor and grandfather Raj Kapoor, but mom Neetu ‘was always controlling’

Ranbir Kapoor and late actor Rishi Kapoor shared a close bond and have worked together in the film, Besharam, which also featured Neetu Kapoor.

Ranbir’s statement is a far cry from the indulgent food habits of his family members. Rahul Rawail, a veteran filmmaker who worked with Raj Kapoor and was a close friend of Rishi Kapoor shared a rare anecdote about Rishi’s experiments with food. “I had seen your father eat a jalebi with pav (bread), and when I asked him why, he said because I want to…” Rawail shared.

Ranbir Kapoor also shared some heartwarming memories of his grandfather, the legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor. Recalling his childhood days, Ranbir said, “My memories of him are very personal.” He fondly remembered how his grandfather would take him and his cousins to his room and hide caramel toffees in his fridge. “He used to make us stand in a line – all the cousins, Kareena, Karishma, my sister, myself – and ask us to do ‘Salaam’ and to sing ‘Awaara Hoon’ (from Awaara, 1951),” Ranbir reminisced.

Ranbir, at IFFI, announced that a film festival showcasing restored movies of his grandfather, veteran filmmaker Raj Kapoor, will be held across the country to celebrate his birth centenary in December.
