— RVCJ Media (@RVCJ_FB) July 21, 2024Kapoor’s conversation with Kamath provides an intimate portrait of his relationship with his father. Reflecting on Rishi Kapoor’s tempestuous nature, Ranbir describes his father as "a short-tempered man, but a very good man," admitting that he never really saw his father’s eyes clearly, metaphorically speaking. This elusive emotional connection has made it challenging for Ranbir to open up about his feelings. He confesses, "I’ve tried therapy, 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."

The podcast also touches on the transformative experience of fatherhood. Ranbir’s account of his daughter Raha’s birth is poignantly heartfelt. He describes the moment as if "someone has taken your heart out and just put it in your hands." Elaborating on Raha’s bond with his wife, Alia Bhatt, he notes that "Raha considers Alia as a part of her," while he himself provides the "masti and fun" in her life.
Kapoor also addresses the public's perception of him as a "Casanova" and a "cheater," a label that has followed him throughout his career. While he does not name names, it is evident that his past relationships with actresses Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif have been the subject of much scrutiny and speculation. The actor candidly admits, "I was labelled a cheater for a very large part of my life. I still am," reflecting on the intense public and media attention that has often accompanied his romantic entanglements.
Bira was tired of Bolly interviews, so when Nikhil says that he's not fully aware of BW, Bira feels great. I think it's the reason why he agreed for the podcast in the first place. He'll talk about football, life, food (his chef Harsh was there) & other things #RanbirKapoor pic.twitter.com/oPxPah4XTK
