In a video posted on the YouTube channel Ranbir Kapoor Kingdom, the actor was seen comparing his relationship with his late father, Rishi Kapoor, to his own with his daughter. "My father’s relationship with me had a little bit of distance; it was not like a friendship, because that’s how that generation was; there was a glass wall. But now, differently with my child, I want to break that glass wall. I want to be a friend to her, give her the wings to fly in whichever direction she wants," Ranbir said.
