And on the show, the actor revealed how his father and late actor Rishi Kapoor hit him only once but it was really hard. He said, "He hit me only once, very hard. He was a very religious man. I think I was eight or nine years old. I had entered the temple premises with my shoes on. So he had hit me on the head."

Ranbir Kapoor is riding high on the success of his recently released Animal, which has turned out to be one of the biggest hits of his career, and could be the biggest soon. A decade-old interview of the actor has gone viral where he addressed the question about his parents’ marriage and attention from the press ahead of the release of his film Rockstar.

In an interview with The Big Indian Picture, Kapoor revealed, “See, at that time, press didn’t matter, because I was also in the fire zone. I live with my parents. Seeing them going through that phase, I was very much part of it. I was right there.”

He added, “I live in a bungalow; my parents live downstairs, I live on the floor above. I remember sitting on the staircases for four-four hours, from 1 am to 5 am, hearing them fight, break things… Everyone goes through it, it’s just that my parents were celebrities, it was out there in the press. It was a little embarrassing in school. Your friends don’t mention it, because they’re good friends, but somewhere there was a sense of, ‘I know what’s happening’. But you deal with it.”
