It seems like they've inevitably gone public with their relationship, what with numerous appearances together and those infamous leaked photos of them on a beach in Ibiza, but rather than worry about the world, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif continue to remain unfazed. Word has it, however, that Kapoor's parents Rishi and Neetu Kapoor are fuming at those rather private photos of the couple being leaked online, as they feel such publicity could prove to be fatal for Ranbir's somewhat fledgling career.

Sources say Neetu especially, is miffed with her son's love life being talked about in the open.

“Ranbir’s parents have never reacted very well to news about their son’s dalliances. They feel this will affect his professional life,” said a source to Mid Day. An enraged Rishi Kapoor said, “I don’t subscribe to this nonsense,” before abruptly ending his telephone conversation with reporters from the same paper.

In the past too, the over protective parents had disapproved of Ranbir's relationship with Deepika Padukone, and Rishi Kapoor was said to be enraged at Sonam Kapoor and Deepika's unflattering comments about his son on Karan Johar's controversial chat show Koffee with Karan. 

We think both Rishi and Neetu should just accept that we live in an age where it takes seconds for news bytes, pictures and gossip to spread like wildfire, courtesy social media, and in fact should be flattered that their son's star and popularity is on the rise. After all, isn't any publicity good publicity?
