Ranbir Kapoor: I aspire to be like my father

Ranbir Kapoor is currently busy with the promotions of his upcoming production, 'Jagga Jasoos' with co-star Katrina Kaif. While the 'Rockstar' actor has been in the industry for almost a decade now, he feels that he still has a long way to go before he can match up with his father.

Talking about his father, Ranbir said, "I want to imbibe a lot of qualities of him like his passion for cinema, hard work that he still puts in for a film after being in the industry for 35 years and his family values."

While Ranbir's upcoming film, 'Jagga Jasoos' is a father-son story, the actor revealed that his relationship with Rishi Kapoor is very different from the characters’ in the film. The actor said, "I still have a little bit of a formal relationship with my father but there is a lot of love and care. It has become better from before. Now, I have become a professional, so we can talk to each other about work."

Rishi Kapoor, especially on social media, is known to speak his heart out and not withhold his opinions on various matters from politics to cricket to Bollywood. While Ranbir is yet to make his social media debut, the actor said that while his father may be outspoken and brash, he comes from an honest place.

Signing off, Ranbir added, "He is a good man. He may be a bit brash and bit too honest, controversial in his tweets and how he puts things across but I think it comes from an honest place. He is not a hypocrite, he is a good man. I aspire to be like him but I am very far from it."
