Randhir Kapoor on Ranbir’s dementia remark: “Nothing of his sort has happened, I am perfectly fine”

Veteran actor Randhir Kapoor has responded to his nephew, actor Ranbir Kapoor’s remark that he is in the early stage of dementia. In a new interview, Randhir dismissed Ranbir’s remark on his health saying that he is ‘perfectly fine’. He likewise added that Ranbir is ‘entitled to say what he wants’.

In an interview with Times of India now, Randhir laughed off Ranbir’s statement and said, “Aisa kuch nahi hua (Nothing of his sort has happened). Not at all. I am perfectly fine. I just had Covid sometime ago (in April 2021). Ranbir ki marzi (It’s Ranbir’s wish); he is entitled to say what he wants. I never said that. I am alright. In fact, I have just returned from Goa with Rahul Rawail. We were there at the Goa festival.”

Talking about Rishi’s performance in Sharmaji Namkeen, Randhir said, “Like always, he was good. He was a very good actor. The movie was good.”

In an interview with NDTV, Ranbir had said, “I remember when my entire family saw it, my father’s elder brother, my uncle Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, and he came to me after the film and said, ‘Tell dad that he was amazing in this film, and where is he, let’s call him’. Art crosses boundaries of medical conditions, issues, conflicts and a good piece of storytelling is what stands tall. Sharmaji Namkeen really embodies that.”
