Ranbir Kapoor says he and dad Rishi Kapoor had a ‘distant’ relationship; doesn’t want it with daughter Raha: ‘I want to break the glass wall’

Ranbir also reflected on living up to the Kapoor legacy and forging his own path: “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.”

Alia has also recently shared how fatherhood has revealed a more vulnerable side of Ranbir. Speaking to Esquire India, she said, “He’s far more sensitive than he lets on. 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.” She recalled that Raha’s birth was marked by exhaustion and vulnerability, noting that Ranbir had taken a month off work even before their daughter arrived to support her at home.

Alia further highlighted Ranbir’s eagerness to spend time with their daughter: “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.”

On the professional front, both Alia and Ranbir are set to share the screen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War, which also stars Vicky Kaushal. Ranbir is gearing up for the release of Ramayana Part 1 and will soon begin filming Animal Park.
