Ranbir Kapoor says he got emotional after seeing his father Rishi Kapoor in The Romantics: ‘The next day he was admitted to the hospital’

Rishi Kapoor did his last interview for Netflix’s The Romantics, a docu-series celebrating filmmaker Yash Chopra, YRF’s legacy and its impact on Indian pop culture over the last 50 years! He had closely collaborated with Yash Chopra and then Aditya Chopra in cult hits like Kabhi Kabhie, Chandni, Jab Tak Hai Jaan (in which he was paired with his wife Neetu Kapoor), Fanaa, Hum Tum, etc. It marked his last on-screen camera interview after which he was admitted to the hospital and within a month’s time, he had passed away fighting the battle of leukemia.

During a group interaction on Sunday, which Bollywood Hungama was a part of, Ranbir Kaoor said that he misses his father every day. The Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar star said, “I miss him a lot. I miss him every day. Especially now, I have seen The Romantics and hearing him talk I felt really emotional. I remember that day when he was shooting for the show - the next day, he was admitted to the hospital and we lost him in a month's time. Losing a parent is a very big deal in anyone's life. I think of him every day. I am also blessed with a daughter (Raha Kapoor). I feel like somewhere he would have been very happy for this moment in my life. He is with me every day. My phone's wallpaper still has him (Rishi Kapoor's photo).”
