Rajiv Kapoor only saw one blockbuster film in his Bollywood career, which was Ram Teri Ganga Maili, by his father Raj Kapoor. He reportedly blamed his father for his lack of success and was hence, never in great terms with him. As per the video, he also skipped Raj Kapoor’s funeral due to the rough relationship he shared with the legendary actor and filmmaker.

According to the short anecdote, Rajiv Kapoor blamed his father Raj Kapoor for taking away all the credit even though he was an integral part of the film. The female lead of the film, Mandakini received immense acclamation for her work in the film but Rajiv Kapoor’s role was somewhat neglected.
