Ranbir had a panic attack on the night of Rishi Kapoor's death, said this about the distance from his father

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor opened up about the last days with his father Rishi Kapoor. He revealed how the two came closer to each other after years of a 'distant' relationship. Ranbir recalled the day he was told that Rishi could pass away anytime, he had a panic attack in the hospital. Rishi Kapoor breathed his last in April 2020 after a battle with cancer. In an interview with Nikhil Kamath, Ranbir talked about his childhood and said that he 'loved' his father, but his relationship with him was 'distant and nothing special'. Ranbir Kapoor said, 'I stopped crying very quickly. Even when Papa passed away, I did not cry. When I was in the hospital, the doctor told me that this is his last night, he will leave soon. I remember I went to the room and I had a panic attack. I didn't know how to express myself. So much was happening that I couldn't handle it. But I don't think I mourned his departure. Rather, I understood the loss.

Rishi Kapoor came to Ranbir Kapoor and started crying

Ranbir and Rishi did not share a good relationship. But now he says that he regrets not being able to bridge the gap between them. 'When he was undergoing treatment, we spent a year together in New York. He would often talk about it. I was there for 45 days. And one day he came and started crying. He had never been so vulnerable in front of me. It was very strange for me because I didn't know if I should hold him or hug him. I really felt the distance between us. I regret not having the courage to bridge the gap between us and hug him. I could give him some love.'

Ranbir Kapoor did not show weakness due to responsibility

Ranbir Kapoor further said that a person is brought up in a special way. 'Where you are told that now you have become a responsible person. Then the same things start going around in the mind. I have a mother, a sister, a wife, a daughter. And father also passed away. Now amidst so many responsibilities, can I show myself weak? I don't know what all this is, but I did not show my weakness.' At the same time, sister Riddhima had said that how after the death of Rajiv Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor in a year, the scattered family has come closer and everyone has started taking more care of each other.
