We brought to you a throwback video of Ranbir Kapoor talking about his grandmother, Krishna Raj Kapoor Sunday lunches. In the video, Ranbir is seen saying, "We meet every Sunday at our grandmother's place where she has this amazing spread of food, several Peshawari dishes. The entire family comes and we spend the entire day there chatting, speaking about each other's work and experience... hearing the time when Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor were an actor. My grandmother used to tell us stories about my grandfather. It's awesome just to hear these stories. It is nostalgic and it is history."
