When asked by Kapil Sharma if he indeed paid crores to Alia's siblings, Ranbir denied the claim, clarifying, "No, that's not true." However, his mother, Neetu, interjected, revealing, "We did give them some cash." Ranbir disclosed that although they initially demanded lakhs, he managed to negotiate down to "a few thousands," attributing the low amount to the intimate nature of their home ceremony.

Accompanied by his mother Neetu Kapoor and sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni on the show, Ranbir reflected on the values instilled by his late father, Rishi Kapoor. Neetu emphasized their children's upbringing, highlighting their respectful demeanor and prudent attitude towards money, a trait passed down by Rishi Ji. She said, "“Both my children are very cool. Riddhima is also very calm. They have never spoken loudly to anyone. My children have very good values, which Rishi Ji gave them. Value of time. Respecting people and respecting money. He was very strict, and my children would watch and learn. I think these same values will be inculcated in Raha as well.”
Neetu further added, “When these two used to study, Rishi Ji would always give them pocket money. If they had to buy anything extra, there was no need to ask for it. I would simply give it to them.”
