Ranbir Kapoor wants his child to play soccer, believes he’s good with kids

It seems like the interview was filmed before RK and Alia’s announcement as Ranbir shared that he is the ‘cool uncle’ to the younger children of the family but he does not like to be called uncle. “I would like to believe I am close to children. I am the cool uncle, but I don’t like to be called uncle. I tell them to call me RK because I don’t want to give an uncle tag where there is a little bit of distance. I don’t want people to think I am old,” he said.

Speaking of his plans for his kids, Ranbir said that he wants to encourage his child to play sports as that is something that gave him direction in life. “I always like when young children, boy or girl, are into sports, it is something that I would like to definitely encourage in my children, when I have children. Especially soccer, I’m very attached to it,” he shared.

Ranbir is presently looking forward to the release of Karan Malhotra’s Shamshera with Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. Soon after that, he will be seen in Brahmastra with Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy and Naga Chaitanya. The Ayan Mukerji film has been in the making for almost a decade, as per the director. Ranbir and Alia met on the sets of Brahmastra five years ago and tied the knot in April 2022. The couple hosted an intimate but lavish wedding at their residence in Mumbai.
