Ranbir said, “I saw such a human side to him. We spent like so many months in New York walking from the apartment to the hospital. Every day, just me and him on the streets and just it’s not really about speaking things, but just the silent moments of him going through his chemotherapy, and just sitting in the hospital with him and him always concerned. He was always guilty, like ‘why are you here? Go back to Bombay, go work, go home. Go do something. Go out for dinner, take your mom for dinner. So it really got all of us together. It did as a family.” 

Ranbir further added that his elder aunt, her daughter, and his younger aunt were at New York too and everybody came together as a family. Ranbir expressed that those moments will always be special for him.
