A biography for Randhir Kapoorhasn’t been written yet.
“I had a good career and I am from a well-to-do family; I have invested well.”
“Kareena and Saif want to have a small, private wedding, and only the immediate relatives of the Kapoors and the Khans, and friends close to my children have been invited.”
“We're like the stock exchange - we know everything that's happening in the family. Since our kids are in the same profession, we all know how they're placed.”
“Every man cannot be Raj Kapoor, like how every singer cannot be Lata Mangeshkar or Mohd Rafi.”
“Everybody already knows everything there is to know about the Kapoors. No, I mean it. There's nothing about the Kapoors that people don't already know - about my father, my brothers, our children. We've been around for so long that people know everything.”
“I am very moody and I work only when I feel like it.”
“Shashi saab had always wished that the traditions continue, even after he bids adieu to the mortal world. He didn't want any of us to mourn his death; his desire was to celebrate life in every form.”
“Rajiv largely stayed with me, he had a house in Pune but he was mostly in Mumbai.”
“I should have directed more but I am a lazy person and have taken a backseat.”
“Chintu, Chimpoo, and I interacted with each other every day. Chimpoo lived with me and Chintu either came to the office on the days that he wasn't shooting or spoke to me on the phone. We didn't need anybody when we three were together. We were a very happy circus by ourselves. We were a robust crowd!”
“I have no Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account.”
“I don't work to earn my livelihood anymore.”
“While making my first film as a director, my father and grandfather used to ask me to explain the scenes by performing them myself first, so that I could improve my skills.”
“You see I'm a very personal man. I might have a very large exterior but I am basically quite a sober and simple man.”
“Actors of today are made to do ridiculous steps. May be you can call them yoga asanas.”
“We are not white-skinned, we are not like them. We do not look like them. Why do we need to act in Hollywood movies? And I don't even think that Indian actors here want to do English movies.”
“People have often asked me to do a remake of Awara' with Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor. When I took the idea few steps forward, we all got scared. Where will we get another Prithviraj Kapoor and Raj Kappor? Where will I get composers like Shankar-Jaikishen?”
“There have never been any fights in the Kapoor family. We are close to even our cousins - like the way Rishi's children and mine interact with Shashi and Shammi's children.”
“All birthdays are good. You're getting closer to death. You're getting older. You can smile and laugh at it. It doesn't have to be bad.”
“We Kapoors are very family-minded people. For us only family is important and we make it a point to attend each other's birthday parties and special occasions.”
