“Mujhe ek hi baar bohot zor ki pari thi! Diwali puja at RK Studios.
Papa bohot religious the. I think I was eight or nine years old. Toh main chappal pehenke andar chala gaya tha mandir mein. Toh mujhe dapli pari thi (He hit me only once, very hard! It was during the Diwali puja at RK Studios. Papa was very religious. I think I was eight or nine years old. I had entered the temple premises with shoes on, so he hit me on the head)!” Ranbir shared.
