MUMBAI: Randhir Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor made a special appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show on Saturday. The father-daughter duo had a blast on the set and shared a lot of fun moments on the show. The veteran actor revealed how much his ego was hurt when a beggar laughed at him because he drove a small car and that he ended up buying a new car almost immediately.
He said although being Raj Kapoor's son, he was given absolutely a normal upbringing and used to travel in buses and trains. Later in life he purchased his own small car after he became an actor.
Recalling the incident, he said, one day, a beggar laughed at the size of his car and told him, "Tum aisi gaadi mein jaata hai, picture mein toh lambi gaadi hoti hai." Hurt by the beggar's words, Randhir Kapoor ended up purchasing a brand new car of the 'latest' model borrowing some money from his wife Babita Kapoor and some advance from his producers.

He then went to Raj Kapoor and showed him the car to which he told him, "Bete, main agar bus mein bhi jaunga, toh bolenge Raj Kapoor bus mein baitha hua hai. Yeh tumhe zaroorat hai, ki log gaadi ko dekhenge aur tumhi bhi dekhenge, ki iss gaadi mein Randhir Kapoor jaa raha hai."
Randhir Kapoor started his career as an assistant director for Lekh Tandon and made his acting and directorial debut with Kal Aaj Aur Kal in 1971. He has acted in films such as Haath Ki Safai, Jeet and more.
