Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor and his son Ranbir Kapoor, both are an epitome of talent. But the one thing that makes them different is their activity on social media sites.
Rishi Kapoor is always active on Twitter while Ranbir maintains a distance to such platforms. Rishi Kapoor is known for not mincing his words on any platform- be it his autobiography or his Twitter account.
Recently, he appeared on Neha Dhupia's podcast No Filter Neha. At the show, while talking about the qualities that Ranbir has inherited from him, he said, "I don’t know about me but he has inherited patience from Neetu. In fact, he is very obliging. The kind I don’t like at all. In the past, I didn’t have the patience to give autographs. Now, with the digital age, I can’t give selfies either. It’s annoying. I feel like giving one tight slap to the bugger who asks for one because itni der mein to main picture Bana leta. Usko button nai milta selfie lene ke liye.”
"See, what has happened is the inception, rather the introduction of this digital era. You know with film gone, and everything has become digitalised. Your editing is digital, your shooting, you're filming also right now in digital. The whole pattern has changed, there's no film now so there's no wastage. So what happens is that directors like to cover the whole scene, not to say from all angles but they do this circumferencely, 360 degrees, north south west east. Whereas the actors are getting screwed in the bargain. We got to do the whole scene in every angle and for actors like me, who are spontaneous, actors like me find it difficult to reproduce the same shot, same emotion from all those angles. So it's become very very difficult. Even Amitji was complaining to me that bohot mushkil ho gayi hai aaj kal," he continued and said.
