The alleged rift between Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif has brought him closer to his parents.

While Ranbir has moved out of the pad that he had moved into with Katrina and is now staying alone in a rented place, it is learnt from sources close to the actor that he eventually intends to move back into the family bungalow Krishna Raj with his parents.

"Right now, the Kapoors’ lives are in a flux," says a source. "Rishi and Neetu will soon be shifting out of their residence as it will be undergoing massive renovation. Once the renovation of Krishna Raj is done, Rishi, Neetu and Ranbir will move in back together."

About Ranbir’s ruptured relationship with Katrina the source says, "Ranbir’s parents have never interfered with his life. He is free to lead it the way he wants. It is a fallacy that Neetuji had anything to do with Ranbir’s latest breakup. Both Rishiji and Neetuji are happy as long as their children are happy."
