Himani recalled how Rishi Kapoor used to push her and Ranbir to watch musicals.

Back in the day, they ended up witnessing several Broadway shows such as "Cats", "Phantom of the Opera", and "Sound of Music" in the company of Satish Kaushik, Paresh Rawal, Saroj Khan, and others.

Reflecting on the good old days, the veteran actress added, "Ha ha the Rk charm and sanskar, he recalled the Aa ab laut chalen days when he was studying in US and used to come on the sets, and Chintuji used to push him to go and watch pays and musicals with me! My first visit to US, besides shopping I was watching, the Broadway shows.

What a lovely throwback! "Aa Ab Laut Chalen" was such an iconic film with a legendary cast. It's amazing to get these behind-the-scenes glimpses. Rishi Kapoor pushing them to watch Broadway shows is such a cool dad move. Miss Chintu ji!

While it's a nice story, I sometimes feel our media gives disproportionate coverage to these personal anecdotes of stars. There are so many veteran artists whose craft and contributions deserve this spotlight more than who they had coffee with years ago. Just a thought.

As someone who loves theatre, this is fascinating! To think they got to watch Cats and Phantom on Broadway with that group... incredible. It must have influenced Ranbir's own performances. The cultural exchange is wonderful.

Himani Shivpuri is a gem! Her comic timing in films like "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" is unforgettable. Good to see her being remembered and respected. These stories keep the history of our cinema alive for new generations.

"My first visit to US, besides shopping I was watching Broadway shows." 😂 Relatable! But what an elite first experience that was! Sounds like a magical time. Makes you miss the pre-social media era when these moments were just personal memories.
