The 8th edition of Jagran Film Festival kicked off in New Delhi today. The film festival was inaugurated by veteran actors Rishi Kapoor, Sridevi, and Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Venkaiah Naidu. 

Prodded on what role he played in his son Ranbir Kapoor’s career, the 64-year-old actor said, “I don’t interfere in Ranbir’s career. I’m his dad not his secretary.”

“I’ve even bought an award. Mai tha us kisam ka us waqt. Maine ki hai aisi galtiyaan and I accept it. (I was that kind of person and those were the time. I have committed mistakes and I accept them)”, he shared.

“I really don’t understand what is #gym got to do with #acting?”, Rishi comments on the current acting trends.

Talking about his debut, he said, “Bobby was a game changer for all of us.”
