Ranbir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor

Looking happy about son Ranbir Kapoor’s career growth, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor candidly says that it’s his work for which Ranbir is more passionate about than girlfriend Deepika Padukone.

Rishi said, “He has a long way to go yet. But I’m happy that he’s very passionate about his work. You have to love what you do, and Ranbir is absolutely engrossed in what he does, passionate about his films, just like his grandfather and his father!”

Talking about Deepika Rishi added, “Absolutely normal, I think she’s one of Ranbir’s girlfriends, so what?” Oh, kind an unconcerned statement, but don’t know whether it’s just a truth or his dislike towards Deepika.
Being a romantic hero of his times, Rishi doesn’t agree with romance idea of today’s generation. “Life is worth living with a relationship that should be committed to love, rather than just a physical relationship. After the release of Love Aaj Kal, two of my friends (who live abroad) called me. One of them told me that the film was such an eye-opener, because their kids live in the US and they have very different outlook. They feel that their kids are staying in a society where such things are common, and when they saw the film, it was easy for them to understand the true meaning of a relationship. A relationship is meant to be nurtured, and is not just about jumping into bed.” adds Rishi.
Talking about the love idea about his days, he adds, “When I started off in Bobby, people would say, ‘This is the jet age.’ That was 40 years ago. Today’s youth is more exposed to information than we were. But that doesn’t mean you change your lifestyle, dammit!”

Meanwhile, for one more time Rishi along with wife Neetu Singh is set to appear together in Do Dooni Char. Neetu had been convinced to do the film, who was thinking that she has forgotten how to act. However supportive Rishi says, “Acting is like swimming. You can never forget it. I told Neetu, Riddhima’s married now, Ranbir, by God’s grace, is doing well, so why wouldn’t you work in films? She was sitting at home, so finally she decided to act.”
