Brace yourselves for a heartfelt and revealing conversation! Ranbir Kapoor is set to appear on entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath’s podcast and a glimpse into the episode promises a refreshingly honest look at his life.
The recently unveiled trailer portrays Ranbir in a candid conversation with Kamath, discussing a range of personal topics. One of the most anticipated aspects is his take on the complex relationship with his late father, Rishi Kapoor. “My father was a short-tempered man, but a very good man. I never saw the colour of his eyes. I was always like this (bends down with his head low). I never said ‘no’.”
The conversation delves into his past relationships, with Ranbir addressing the labels assigned to him after high-profile breakups. “I dated two very successful actresses, and that just became my identity, that he’s a Casanova. I was labelled a cheater for a very large part of my life. I still am,” he said.
The mention of actresses likely refers to Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif, both past romantic partners of Ranbir. Their public breakups and certain media appearances fuelled the rumours he now seeks to address.
Ranbir also sheds light on his personal struggles, revealing, “It’s not that I’m against therapy, it’s just that I have to open myself up. And I’m very scared of opening myself up.”
A shift in tone comes as Ranbir discusses fatherhood and his daughter, Raha. “It’s like someone has taken your heart out and just put it in your hands. I think Raha considers Alia as a part of her. With me, she looks for the masti and fun.” This statement comes amidst online criticism of Ranbir’s perceived behaviour towards his wife, Alia Bhatt.
The episode promises to be a turning point for Ranbir, offering an opportunity to set the record straight and share his perspective on his personal and professional journey. Fans can also look forward to insights into his upcoming collaboration with Alia in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War. With the podcast set to air soon, one thing’s for sure: Ranbir is ready to have a conversation.
