After Rishi Kapoor’s cancer diagnosis, Ranbir Kapoor forced him aboard an Airplane and went with him to New York

Rishi Kapoor previously said that he and Ranbir Kapoor had “screwed things up.” Ranbir, on the other hand, stepped up once Rishi was diagnosed with cancer.

Ranbir Kapoor celebrates his 39th birthday on Tuesday. He is the son of late actor Rishi Kapoor and actress Neetu Kapoor, yet he has carved out a niche for himself in Bollywood.

Ranbir has appeared in films such as Barfi, Sanju, Rockstar, and many others since his debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya in 2007. Not only has his profession generated headlines, but so has his personal life, from the women he has dated to the equation he shared with his father.

Rishi and Ranbir had a tumultuous relationship for a long time. Rishi previously acknowledged in an interview that he had messed up his relationship with Ranbir. Rishi revealed in a 2015 interview with Mumbai Mirror how negatively he and Neetu reacted to Ranbir’s choice to leave the family home and live with his then-girlfriend Katrina Kaif.

“When I moved out after marriage, my father gave me space, and I gave Ranbir room when he wanted to move out and share a house with his partner. He just had one room in this house: how could it be adequate for a 33-year-old boy? He’s a wonderful son who listens to me, but I don’t intervene in his professional life since mine is mine and his is his. Even though my wife continued telling me what I was doing, I knew I had messed up my connection with Ranbir. Things too late to fix it; neither of us will be able to adjust to the new situation.

It’s like if there’s a glass wall between us; we can see each other and chat, but that’s it. He no longer lives with us, which is a major blow for Neetu and me. We’re constructing a new home with plenty of space for him and his family. Life carries on till then.”

However, as time went, things between them improved. Ranbir wasted no time in bringing Rishi to New York for the best treatment when he was diagnosed with cancer in 2018. “There was no time to react,” Rishi told a prominent newspaper. In Delhi, I was filming.
