The senior actor, who will soon be seen in Mulk, understands that the demanding nature of showbiz leaves little place for personal life. "[Be it] Ranbir or his contemporaries, actors have blinkers on and are focused on their work. The only women they meet are the actresses. They don't socialise as much; that is the flipside of life in the movies."

Rishi, who has often admitted that he is more of a disciplinarian than a friend to his son, says that the distance between them discourages him from broaching the subject with him. "I haven't been vocal about it, but my wife [Neetu Kapoor] keeps bringing it up with him and he just brushes the question away. Whenever he is ready for it, we will be happy. Our happiness lies in his happiness, after all."
