Randhir Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor made guest appearances recently at The Kapil Sharma Show. In the episode, Randhir Kapoor revealed some anecdotes back from his working days, and one of them immensely hurt his ego.
He said that when he bought a small car for himself after he became an actor, a beggar laughed at him and his car. Randhir Kapoor quoted him, saying, “Tum aisi gaadi mein jaata hai, picture mein toh lambi gaadi hoti hai (This is the kind of car you have? In films, you drive a fancy car),” which hurt his ego, and he immediately booked the latest model after that.
However, his father, Raj Kapoor, who was happy with Randhir Kapoor’s new purchase, but yet didn’t agree with Randhir Kapoor buying a similar fancy car like the ones he drive-in films, saying, “Bete, main agar bus mein bhi jaunga, toh bolenge Raj Kapoor bus mein baitha hua hai. Yeh tumhe zaroorat hai, ki log gaadi ko dekhenge aur tumhe bhi dekhenge, ki uss gaadi mein Randhir Kapoor jaa raha hai (Son, even if I take a bus, people will take notice of me. You need a car like this, so that people can notice the car and you as well).” as quoted by Koi Moi.
