“I Am Scared To Even Talk About It,” Says Ranbir On His Fatherhood Journey

Ranbir Kapoor has been overjoyed since he and his wife Alia Bhatt welcomed Raha, their first child, last year.  In his most recent interview, Ranbir mentioned how happy and joyful he is to be a father.

The actor said that being a parent is a very unique feeling where one feels nothing or everything is important at the same time.

“Nothing matters anymore, and everything does, at the same time. I am scared to even talk about it because it fills me up so much. You have this fear: will this go away? But in the back of my mind, I know this is the one thing that will live with me eternally till the day I die. The amount of love, joy, and gratefulness that I feel, I haven’t felt that towards anything, any person, any movie, anything professionally,” Ranbir told a news website.

When the actor was asked about not being in his ‘dad bod’ phase, he said that he wouldn’t mind putting on weight if he weren’t an actor. He also added that actors don’t get to enjoy their lives while stressing about being healthy as a priority.

“If I was not an actor, I wouldn’t care if I put on weight or anything. I think everybody should be healthy. You should eat and sleep well. But you should also enjoy a little bit of life. Actors are starving (humans). Every actor is unhappy because they don’t get the food they want to eat. So, from the outside, it all looks glamorous and cool, but on the inside, we are just pained,” he said.
