The Kapoor family has been ruling the Bollywood industry for ages and has given us stars like Raj Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, and more.
Rishi Kapoor left us in 2020 after suffering from cancer and now Ranbir Kapoor reveals that Randhir Kapoor is also suffering from a condition.
Randhir Kapoor recently saw Rishi Kapoor’s last film, Sharmaji Namkeen, and after seeing the movie he wanted to talk to Rishi Kapoor.
This is when Ranbir Kapoor revealed that his uncle is in the early stages of dementia. As per reports, Ranbir said, “My uncle Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, and he came to me after the film, said, ‘Tell dad that he is amazing, and where is he, let’s call him’. Art crosses the boundaries of medical conditions… And a good piece of storytelling really embodies that.”
Rishi Kapoor passed away before completing the shooting for Sharmaji Namkeen and Paresh Rawal stepped in to complete the remaining part of the movie.
Ranbir had earlier opened up about his father’s last movie and how special it is for him. “The show must go on — you all have heard it but I have seen my father live that.” The actor also shared that Rishi Kapoor was worried if this film would ever be completed. “After his demise, we thought the film wouldn’t get completed. We thought of trying VFX or I could wear prosthetics and complete the role but nothing was working out. It was a tough time for all of us. And that’s when Mr. Paresh Rawal stepped in. It was very generous of him to take up this challenge,” he said.
