Randhir Kapoor recently got candid with a leading publication mentioning that he does not have dementia. Questions started rising after Brahmastra actor, Ranbir Kapoor said in an interview that the veteran actor was suffering from early stages of dementia, a medical condition that leads to loss of memory.
In the interview, Ranbir was talking about his uncle’s first reaction after watching his late father Rishi Kapoor’s last movie, Sharmaji Namkeen. He said, “My uncle Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, came to me after the film and said, ‘Tell dad (Ranbir’s late father Rishi Kapoor) that he is amazing, and where is he, let’s call him.
In the interview, he also said, “Art crosses boundaries of medical conditions, issues, conflicts and a good piece of storytelling is what stands tall. Sharmaji Namkeen really embodies that.
Shortly after, Randhir Kapoor, who is now 75, shared an update on his health. He denies having any such medical condition. In the statement, he said, “Aisa kuch nahi hua. Not at all. I am perfectly fine. I just had COVID sometime ago (in April last year).” When he was asked about Ranbir’s statement he said, “Ranbir ki marzi (Ranbir’s wish), he is entitled to say what he wants. I never said that. I am alright. In fact, I have just returned from Goa with Rahul Rawail. We were there at the Goa festival.”
Randhir Kapoor, is the eldest son of legendary actor Raj Kapoor. He lost both his brothers Rishi Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor in a span of ten months. The actor’s sister, Ritu Nanda also passed away in 2020.
