Ranbir recalls sweet memories of grandpa Raj Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor was all of six when his legendary grandfather, Bollywood actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor gave up the ghost in 1988. At the latter's 24th death anniversary Saturday, the young actor shared vivid memories of being pampered by him with toffees.

"Raj Kapoorji passed on to the great beyond after I was very young. I USED TO BE six years old. My favourite film of his is 'Shree 420'," Ranbir said here.

Ranbir has some 'sweet' tales to inform of his experiences together with his grandpa, who held sway over the Hindi film industry producing, directing and acting in successful movies like "Barsaat" (1949), "Awaara" (1951) and "Chori Chori" (1956).

"I still remember he used to name us to his room... including me. All my cousins -- Kareena and others from Delhi -- used to come," the 29-year-old said.

"He used to name us to the room and he used to have all of the toffees with him. All of us used to take a seat and he used to invite us to perform. And getting that one toffee was an excessively big deal," he added.

Raj Kapoor died of complications associated with asthma on the age of 63.
