In an upcoming episode of Nikhil Kamath’s People by WTF podcast, actor Ranbir Kapoor opens up about his relationships with his late father, Rishi Kapoor, his wife Alia Bhatt, and their daughter Raha. A trailer for the episode, released on Saturday evening, features a candid conversation between Ranbir and Nikhil on various personal topics.
Reflecting on Rishi Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor’s relationship with his father, Rishi Kapoor, has been a topic of public interest for years. In the podcast, Ranbir delves into the complexities of their bond, revealing that he never had the courage to disagree with his father.
“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’,” Ranbir shared. He admitted to struggling with expressing his emotions and rarely crying. Despite trying therapy, he confessed, “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.”
Addressing Public Perceptions
The actor also addressed the public perception of his dating life, which has often overshadowed his career. Without naming names, Ranbir spoke about the negative labels he has carried due to his high-profile relationships.
“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. This likely refers to his well-documented relationships with Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif. He faced public criticism following Deepika’s remarks about him on Koffee with Karan and during the promotions of Jagga Jasoos, when tensions between him and Katrina were apparent.
Looking Ahead
The podcast episode promises to offer deeper insights into Ranbir’s personal and professional life, providing fans with a better understanding of his journey. His reflections on fame, relationships, and personal growth are anticipated to be a compelling listen.
Ranbir Kapoor’s appearance on the People by WTF podcast is set to shed light on the actor’s vulnerabilities and strengths, making it a must-listen for his fans and followers.
