Regarding the parallels and differences between Rishi Kapoor and his son, Ranbir Kapoor, filmmaker Karan Malhotra recalls working with the late actor.

Ranbir Kapoor is making a comeback to the big screen this year after a four-year absence. Additionally, the actor has two blockbuster films scheduled. Shamshera comes first, then Brahmastra. Ranbir has always been recognised as one of the top heroes of his time, despite not being as active as some of his peers. But according to the actor, his late father Rishi Kapoor would frequently criticise the movies he chose, claiming that they “won’t make him a national celebrity.” Ranbir Kapoor claims that his early desire of being a hero is unfulfilled

Set in the made-up city of Kaza, Shamshera depicts the tale of Shamshera (Ranbir) defending his tribe’s freedom and honour against the brutal authoritarian commander Shuddh Singh (played by Sanjay Dutt).

According to Karan, who contrasted his experiences working with Rishi and Ranbir for ETimes, “They have a very similar acting culture, in my opinion. However, their on-set personalities are completely off the rails. It is comparable to the North and South Poles. Chintu uncle was a flamboyant, outspoken, direct, and combative individual. That is not at all true of Ranbir. Ranbir is a cheerful person. He silently performs his masti. He is equally content with himself and unconcerned.”

In Karan’s Agneepath, which also starred Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, and Sanjay Dutt, Rishi played the bad guy. The director recalls fighting with Rishi frequently while Agneepath was being filmed.

“While filming Agneepath, Chintu uncle and I got into a lot of disputes and arguments. And because I treasure the entire time with him so much, I would not want to forget it for a single second. I genuinely miss that feature. He constantly pushed me and strengthened my conviction. It was like fighting and bickering with your parents around him. He would curse and even push me while saying, “You’ve gone crazy,” adding, “Woh gaali bhi dete the, dhakka bhi maarte the.” We used to frequently disagree.”

The director also said that the father-son team’s one point of resemblance is that they “surrender to the vision of the director.”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”

Smita Patil and Raj Babbar met on the sets of their 1982 film Bheegi Palkein. Raj left Nadira to marry Smita the following year. Their son, actor Prateik Babbar, was born in November 1986. However, Smita Patil died soon after from childbirth complications at the age of 31. Raj Babbar got back together with Nadira a few years later.

Juhi Babbar made her film debut with Kash Aap Hamare Hote opposite Sonu Nigam in 2003. She worked in a handful of films over the next few years before taking a hiatus to do TV. In 2023, she returned to films with supporting roles in films like Faraaz and Farrey. She is married to actor Anup Soni.
