Ranbir Kapoor appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati with Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey to promote his upcoming film Ramayan. During a chat with host Amitabh Bachchan, the actor shared why he found it difficult to look each other in the eye while talking to two people – his late father Rishi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan himself.

Recalling his childhood visit to the sets of the 1991 film Ajuba, which starred his father Rishi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir said he grew up watching the veteran actor.

Ranbir told Amitabh Bachchan, “I want to say that there have been only two people in my life whom I cannot look in the eye while speaking. One was my father and the other is you.

The actor also recalled seeing Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of Ajuba as a child. He said that the personality and presence of the 84-year-old actor left an indelible impression on him. “I remember seeing this tall man. What Gen Z calls ‘Ara Farming’ today, it all started with him,” said Ranbir.

He added that Amitabh Bachchan had a different kind of presence whenever he entered a room. “Whenever he entered the room, it was as if someone came in with a radiating presence,” he said.

During the conversation, Amitabh Bachchan also asked Ranbir about his wife actress Alia Bhatt. He said that Alia was one of his favorite actors and asked Ranbir what he liked most about her.

“Sir, I think the foundation and root of our relationship is friendship. I always believed that love binds a relationship, trust strengthens a relationship, and respect sustains a relationship. And, I think these are important foundations of a relationship,” he said.

Ranbir also shared a funny thought about their height difference. He said that he often imagined himself as Amitabh Bachchan and Alia as Jaya Bachchan.

He said, “Another thing, I always have this image in my mind that I am tall like Amitabh Bachchan and Alia is a little short like Jaya Aunty (Bachchan), so the height difference in the photos will also look good.” So that’s what I always thought.

Ranbir Kapoor will play the role of Lord Ram in director Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film Ramayana. The film also stars Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Rakul Preet Singh as Surpankha. Ramayana is scheduled to release in theaters on November 5.
