Ranbir Kapoor reveals uncle Randhir Kapoor suffering from dementia
Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has revealed that his uncle, veteran actor Randhir Kapoor is suffering from dementia.
Talking to a popular news channel, the Sanju (2018) actor revealed that his uncle is going through an early stage of dementia.
“My uncle Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, came to me after the film (Sharmaji Namkeen) and said, ‘Tell dad that he is amazing, and where is he, let’s call him’. Art crosses the boundaries of medical conditions… And a good piece of storytelling really embodies that.”
Ranbir is presently busy promoting his late father, Rishi Kapoor’s final film Sharmaji Namkeen. After the death of senior Kapoor, veteran actor Paresh Rawal stepped into his shoes to complete the film. Juhi Chawla also plays an important role in it.
“The show must go on – you all have heard it but I have seen my father live that. After his demise, we thought the film wouldn’t get completed. We thought of trying VFX or I could wear prosthetics and complete the role but nothing was working out. It was a tough time for all of us. And that’s when Mr. Paresh Rawal stepped in. It was very generous of him to take up this challenge,” Ranbir added.
Sharmaji Namkeen, directed by Hitesh Bhatia, is now out on Amazon Prime Video. It is produced by Excel Entertainment.
