After Ranbir Kapoor stated in an NDTV interview that his uncle Randhir Kapoor, 75, has dementia, the veteran actor shared an update on his health in an interaction with ETimes. Randhir Kapoor denied suffering from the health condition and told ETimes, "Aisa kuch nahi hua. Not at all. I am perfectly fine. I just had COVID sometime ago (in April last year)." Randhir Kapoor's statement came a day after Ranbir Kapoor told NDTV, "My uncle Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, came to me after the film and said, 'Tell dad (Ranbir's late father Rishi Kapoor) that he is amazing, and where is he, let's call him'."

When asked about Ranbir Kapooor's statement, Randhir Kapoor said this, "Ranbir ki marzi (Ranbir's wish), he is entitled to say what he wants. I never said that. I am alright. In fact, I have just returned from Goa with Rahul Rawail. We were there at the Goa festival."
