Actor Rishi Kapoor believes that today's actors are more professional, disciplined and a lot like "instant noodles". Speaking at the launch of his autobiography 'Khullam Khulla - Rishi Kapoor Uncensored', the veteran said, "The boys today are very professional. They are all updated and have so much exposure. Today when I see a six-year-old kid, there is a whole lot of difference from what I was at that age. They are well informed and look at their bodies. They have learned all emotions."
"Whereas in my grandfather's (Prithviraj Kapoor) time, everything was learned by experience. But today's kids are instant noodles. They are well prepared, they know their lives, and are very professional and punctual. But we were all very bad. We never came on time. We were quite in-disciplined and never knew our lines. We always had secretaries around." Rishi however, feels the content and quality of songs was much better earlier. "Today there is no content. We don't have any value of music. We have multiplex audience. Still we do see better films being made today which couldn't have been made 10 years ago."
Known for films like 'Bobby', 'Khel Khel Mein', 'Karz', 'Do Dooni Char', and the most recent 'Kapoor & Sons', Rishi belongs to the first family of the Hindi film industry, and has been associated with the fraternity for the past 85 years. "When I started my second innings as an actor, one day Rakesh Roshan called me and said, 'Listen I have a role for you and it's a two day part. I just want you to play Hrithik's father in a film called 'Krissh' or whatever he was making'. I said, 'No, I don't think so. It will be a wrong move in my career. Suddenly he started laughing and asked me what kind of career was I looking at. Those words hit me. Then I said to him that now I will prove to you that you can work at this age too. I hold the success of my second innings to Rakesh Roshan."
His autobiography has him reveal several unknown segments of his life, including his father Raj Kapoor's affairs with co-stars and his take on father-son relationship.
