Rishi Kapoor and his wife Neetu will be moving out of their family bungalow, Krishna Raj in Pali Hill, Bandra (in the western suburb of Mumbai) in the next few weeks.
They will shift to a place owned by Neetu Singh in Hill Road, Bandra.
Their son Ranbir Kapoor has already moved out of Krishna Raj.
"We are moving out of our family home at least for three years," Rishi Kapoor says, sounding sad. "That’s the time it will take the bungalow to be renovated."
The Kapoors own three floors in the high-rise.
"The original plan was that we’d occupy one floor while Ranbir would occupy another in Neetu’s place. That didn’t happen. He has gone into his own place,” says Rishi Kapoor.
Does he miss his son in the house? "It’s not as if Ranbir was hanging around the house all the time," Rishi says. "Even when we lived together at Krishna Raj, he had his own life. And he lived on a separate floor from us. We see him whenever we feel like. He had dinner with us on the evening that he completed the shooting of Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha."
