My life has become like a screenplay: Ranbir Kapoor
The actor is tired of speculations about him moving out of his parents’ house, and alleged girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s role in it.
There’s been a lot of speculation about Ranbir Kapoor moving out of his family home, Krishna Raj. Some rumours have it that his father, Rishi Kapoor, doesn’t approve of his alleged girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s frequent visits to their house. Others suggest that the couple has finalised a duplex on Hill Road, Bandra (W), for a whopping Rs 20 crore.
Flummoxed by all the talk, the actor says, “So much has been written about it, it has become like a screenplay — that my father fought with me, or that my mother is saying something, and someone is demanding that I go outside. It’s so silly.”
Ranbir clarifies that the Kapoors will be moving out, but only temporarily, while their bungalow gets redeveloped. “I’ve said it earlier, and I’m not a liar. When the house is ready, we’ll all come back together. I guess I also don’t clarify things,” he says, adding, “There’s no sense of negativity to the entire process. We’re making the same house bigger.”
Prod him about why he keeps his distance from the media, and the actor justifies, “If there’s no film release, what do I talk about? What do I say to whatever is written about me, throughout the year? (It will only lead to) one clarification after the other.” Ranbir also comments on Katrina’s open letter to the media last year, after pictures of them holidaying abroad were leaked. He says, “Let bygones be bygones. We are all moving forward in our lives.”
