NEW DELHI: Rishi and Neetu Kapoor are feisty and are known to speak their mind. Thus, when it came to son Ranbir and the way he was discussed by Deepika and Sonam on Karan’s show the couple didn’t hesitate to voice outrage.
Neetu Singh who is out of town has apparently even called up Karan Johar to convey how upset she is with him. Rishi Kapoor claimed he didn’t expect this from Karan. “He instigated the girls (Deepika and Sonam) into making such statements to increase the TRP of the show.
It wasn’t in a good taste. Karan gets paid for that show. We don’t get paid; we go because we value our relationship with him. We feel cheated and hurt. If this is the way Karan plans to behave, all ties will be severed between the Kapoors and him.”
While dad Rishi is upset with the whole episode where Deepika even suggested Ranbir should endorse a condom brand and Sonam said Ranbir has no sex appeal except when he sheds all his clothes, son Ranbir has taken the issue sportingly.
Just few days back at an event he commented on Deepika’s bold remark that it was fine to endorse safe sex! A source says, “Deepika believes it was done in good humour. The episode was blown out of proportion by the media. It was taken too seriously. It was a rapid fire round where one is supposed to be fun and quick! People need to be humorous.”
Apparently Ranbir, Sonam and Deepika – the trio was spotted on the sets of the chat show conversing with each other the day Deepika, Sonam shot their episode.
