Ranbir kapoor called his daughter “meri dal chawal” – what is the matter?

The story of Father Ranbir Kapoor’s unique love, what all the superstar does to stay on the set

The star who makes everyone feel special

Indira Krishnan, who plays Kaushalya in Nitesh Tiwari’s “Ramayan”, can’t stop gushing about Ranbir Kapoor.

In an exclusive chat with NDTV, she was shown a side of Ranbir that fans don’t often see – not just a superstar, but a loving papa.

“He is hands down my favourite co-star,” Indira said, describing how Ranbir would always pull out a chair for her on set, ask about her well-being, and have meaningful conversations. “I’ve never seen such a big star behave like this with anyone.”

Daal Chawal- a perfect dad metaphor

What touched Indira the most was Ranbir’s filterless love for his daughter. “She told me that her daal Rice is hers,” she revealed.

In case one missed the reference, it’s a comparison to the ultimate comfort food – the everyday necessity you can’t live without.

What struck Indira’s heart was the simplicity and depth of the metaphor.

And these weren’t just empty words – Ranbir’s actions also prove his passion for fatherhood.

Books for baby Rah

“Every day he would remind me, ‘Ma’am, did you get books for Rah?'” Indira recalled.

Ranbir would constantly ask about his son’s childhood books, wanting to build a collection for his little daughter.

Parenting sessions in the van

Ranbir’s hunger for parenting knowledge didn’t stop there.

He developed a special bond with Indira’s son Aniruddh, spending hours in his vanity van talking about everything from school boards to parenting advice.

The superstar would always seek guidance on what would be best for Rah.

The race that says it all

Perhaps the most touching story that Indira shared was when Ranbir came to the set one day, limping a little.

“I asked what happened, and she said, ‘There was a race, Indira ji… I ran for Raha. And I came for the first time.’

His muscle was pulled, but he still came to work as if nothing had happened, Ranbir.

While fans are excited to see Ranbir’s physical transformation to become Lord Ram, it is clear that his most meaningful role is happening off-screen – being Raha’s father.
