Ranbir Kapoor recently got candid with the famous comedy collective, 'All India Bakchod' AKA 'AIB' and made certain interesting revelations. One of them being the fact that he feels he is more like his mother Neetu than father Rishi, as he doesn’t have his frankness.

“My personality is more like hers than my father's. My sister (Riddhima Kapoor Sahani) is more like my father,” quipped the ‘Jagga Jasoos’ star. He continued, “I can't be like my father. He's one of a kind. He's so honest, which is admirable. He'll have no guilt or baggage in his life. He'll always be a free man. We're all, at some level, hypocrites. If there's a political question at a press conference, I'll have a hypocritical answer, or I'll clam up, or wriggle out of it. But he won't. And he regards himself as junta. So if he has an opinion on politics, sports, entertainment, ban on a certain food, he will give it. He feels he has that freedom of speech. Unfortunately, he's an actor, so that gets blown out of proportion, or gets taken too seriously. I don't think I have that frankness, openness.”

He further admitted that he is closer to his mother than his is to his father. “Growing up, we hardly saw our father. Back then, they used to do two shifts a day, six movies a year. We could only see him during holidays — in Ooty, Kashmir or Switzerland. He would be shooting there, and we needed a holiday, so we would go where he was.”

Well, there sure is a price to pay when you are making it big in the glittering world of show business. On the work front, Ranbir is currently working on the much-awaited Sanjay Dutt biopic, which will hit the theaters on 30th March, 2018.
