Ranbir Kapoor opens up about his relationship with daughter Raha

The actor, in a recent conversation, said he doesn’t want a distant relationship with Raha like the one he had with his father, Rishi Kapoor.

Ranbir Kapoor recently was announced as the new brand ambassador for PNG Jewellers. In a conversation with the brand, he spoke about fatherhood and revealed that his approach to raising his daughter, Raha, differs from his late father-actor Rishi Kapoor’s approach to him.

Ranbir shed light on carrying forward the Kapoor legacy.

He spoke about carrying forward the Kapoor legacy and said, “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 as your forefathers, there would be a saturation point somewhere. 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.”

Ranbir Kapoor recalled how his relationship with his father was somewhat distant, but said he wants to be Raha’s best friend. He shared, “My father’s relationship with me had a little bit of distance; it was not like a friendship, because that’s how that generation was; there was a glass wall. But now, with my child, I want to break that glass wall. I want to be a friend to her, give her the wings to fly in whichever direction she wants.”

Recently, Ranbir’s wife, actor Alia Bhatt, also spoke about his love for their daughter Raha. She revealed how he rushes home after shoots and runs straight to her room to spend time with her. She added that while Ranbir is very shy, he wears his love for Raha on his sleeve.
