The book in Hindi has been penned by the filmmaker’s daughter Ritu Nanda.
Speaking on the occasion, Ranbir said it was an honour and a humbling experience for him to release the book titled “Raj Kapoor”: “On many occasions I have been asked how it feels to be born into the Kapoor family. Well, I don’t have readymade answers but The Showman continues to be omnipresent. The book written by Ritu Bua will give me an insight into his life and the magic of cinema he left behind for posterity.”
Earlier in the day, Rishi accompanied by his son Ranbir and sister Ritu went to Rashtrapati Bhavan to present a commemorative copy of the book to President Pratibha Patil. “The President showered her blessings on Ranbir and it was a proud moment for all of us. I am sure that the film-loving public will continue to love and bless Ranbir just as they did my grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor, father Raj Kapoor, and other members of our family,” said Rishi.
Come on people. What the hell is this.. just because one person in a family became an actor each and every freakinbody in his family becomes an actor talent or no talent. Who cares if you're a Kapoor or not.. Why are all these spoiled kids of film families hogging over the industry. It stops truly talented and deserving actors from entering the industry. UNFAIR and CHEAP.
Its all about easy money for these families they are raising thier kids to take their places in the movies using their contacts with their filmmaking buddies. SHAME ON YOU KAPOORS, BACHCHANS, DEOLS, KHANNAS, ETC
