Ranbir Kapoor Recalls Rishi Kapoor Slapping Him During Diwali Puja At RK Studios: 'I Was Hit Really Hard'
Ranbir Kapoor once recalled a childhood incident when his late father, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, slapped him during a Diwali puja at the family’s iconic RK Studios in Mumbai. The actor revealed that it was the only time his father had hit him, and the reason was his mistake of entering the temple premises wearing slippers. Ranbir shared the anecdote while appearing on the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show alongside his mother, Neetu Kapoor, and sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni.
Why Did Rishi Kapoor Slap Ranbir?
During his appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Ranbir spoke about his father’s religious nature and recalled how particular he was about following traditions and customs.
Remembering the incident, Ranbir said, “Mujhe ek hi baar bohot zor ki padi thi! Diwali puja at RK Studios. Papa bohot religious thay. I think I was eight or nine years old. Toh main chappal pehenke andar chala gaya tha mandir mein. Toh mujhe tapli padi thi.” [I was hit really hard only once! It happened during the Diwali puja at RK Studios. Papa was very religious. I think I was eight or nine years old. I had entered the temple wearing slippers, so he slapped me on the head.]
The actor explained that his father did not approve of him entering the temple with footwear on. He also made it clear that this was the only occasion when Rishi had physically disciplined him.
