Ranbir Kapoor opens up about what dad Rishi Kapoor taught him about acting

Rishi Kapoor’s last movie Sharmaji Namkeen is as of now streaming. The late actor’s performance in the slice-of-life comedy has been appreciated by pundits and fans alike.. Many have called the movie a fitting farewell to the veteran actor, who passed on April 30, 2020. Rishi’s son actor  Ranbir Kapoor was actively involved in promoting the movie. In a recent interview after the movie’s release, the actor has talked about the acting tips he received from his father before his untimely death.

In a recent interaction with Mid-Day, Ranbir  said, “My father rightfully believed that every actor has to find his own way. You have to learn from your mistakes, and develop your own skill set.”

In an earlier interview with IndiaToday.in, Ranbir had conceded that his father was a harsh critic of his work. “Dad was a harsh critic. He never appreciated me in my face. I don’t think he understood my choices. He was always worried ki what is he doing,” he had said. In fact, Ranbir had said that after watching his 2012 film Barfi, Rishi had some scathing feedback. He recalled, “He was very harsh. I remember even when he saw Barfi for the first time he called me. I am always nervous when my father called me after a film. He told me, ‘Haan tu acting achi kar leta hai (You act well) but don’t do artsy films next time’.”
