Rishi often compared their relationship to a glass wall: they could see each other, but not touch or feel each other.
Ranbir also revealed his fear of his father, admitting that he never actually saw his father’s eyes, always bowing down and agreeing to everything he said due to his intimidation. He clarified that, unlike his character in Animal, who is obsessed with his father, he was genuinely frightened of his dad. Although his father never physically abused them or raised his voice, his volatile temperament made Ranbir anxious.
When asked if his father’s era influenced his behavior, Ranbir noted that men from that generation often struggled with vulnerability. He mentioned that his father never openly expressed love, rarely held his hand, and while he did hug him, it felt more like a pat. Ranbir acknowledged that this might be attributed to his father’s generation, though he recognized the emotional distance despite his father’s care and love.
