Ranbir Kapoor interview with Rajeev Masand | Pratham 

About 4 years back, I was at a restaurant with my family enjoying dinner. After the dinner was done, while leaving, we met Ranbir Kapoor at the door. He was just entering the restaurant. My sister recognised him and took his name which turned his head towards us. My father appreciated his acting skills and said he was a fan of his work. Ranbir stood patiently at the door smiling and replying to our questions. I could not believe that he was giving us a mini interview. Such a big star. Just after 2-3 minutes of interaction about him, his father's movies and about the restaurant, he said Jai Shree Krishna to us and wished us well. We responded. I was just taken aback by the guy's down to earth nature.

I still remember I met him at the Mumbai airport and I told him i am his big fan, he smiled and said " Thanks buddy, How are you?" I mean a star asked me how you are . He is really humble 🔥

My friend’s sister was returning from New York with her year old son. It was a direct flight and a long and tedious one at that, plus with a crying baby, she was hassled by the time they landed in Mumbai. At the baggage conveyor, people were jostling and she was finding it extremely hard to handle a toddler and look for her bag when she felt a tap on her shoulder. A young man had brought her a trolley and asked her if she could spot her bag on the conveyor, he’d unload it and put it on the trolley for her. After doing that for her, she realised that that young man was Ranbir Kapoor. She asked him for a picture, he happily obliged by holding her baby in his arm and putting the other arm around her. What a man, RK!

Idk why everyone's pressurizing him so much to join social media. Social media is terribly overrated, I think it's really refreshing to see someone NOT on it.

There is something in this guy.. Every time I see him in his interviews I feel he is brutally honest and really humble.. Bollywood is yet to use him in his truest potential...& Never ever join social media.

Ranbir kapoor is one of the best things that ever happened to Bollywood. PERIOD.

When you remain silent in today's world, people make assumptions about you, and most of the time those assumptions are negative. That's the case with Ranbir Kapoor.

If nepotism produces an actor like him, then I'hv no complaints!!

Ranbir's stardom is insane, Despite being inactive for nearly 2 and half years.. He managed to be in the highlight. That's how you make an impact on people through your art, through your nature and through your words.. Ranbir has mastered them all... We fans will keep supporting you no matter what. It's a pleasure to be your fan! And you blessed us with this interview after nearly 908 days 😭😭❤❤ Forever grateful to pratham foundation!

Ranbir's responses are honest, simple, and natural. No airs, no frills, no flaunting. He is a hardworking actor and he speaks sense.

What a perfect comment section, not a single abuse, feeling good and it's power of Ranbir's personality,🎉👏👏👏❤️

Wake up Sid is one of the fav movie of his. Such a warm, sensible and respectful persona he radiates. He has a great connect with audiences even though he is not on social media. He speaks (acts) volumes with his eyes.

"I've a relatable quality not an aspirational quality." - R.K Well. Said.

I hate when people place him in the same bracket as the untalented nepo kids like Ananya, Sara, Tiger, Arjun, Sonam and so on. Ranbir is an amazing actor and works extremely hard for his role and this is visible if you see his movies. Yes, he got into the industry from nepotism, but you can't deny that he is pure talent. He isn't like the other star kids who stay in the industry despite their lack of talent. He's in this industry because he knows how to act and is one of the greatest actor of our generation.

Thanks to Rajkumar Hirani for boosting Ranbir Kapoor's career and bringing the best piece of Ranbir. Most genuine and talented actor of bollywood. 🤩

Many people say his movies choices are bad not like of ranveer ,varun. The thing is he is so rare .He is different and we need him

The sad part about acting is 90% of your good work happens by fluke and you don't know how to recreate it. -- Ranbir Kapoor ❤️💯🙌

The only nepo kid who has shown that he is worth the love, stardum he got or i can say he is the POSITIVE PRODUCT OF NEPOTISM...i just love the way he acts through his eyes,he doesn't need dialogues his eyes are enough to show what he wants to say...just want to meet him once in my life😘❤️love you RK❤️

He's that one nepo kid that I don't mind supporting. His craft, his acting skills are proof enough that he's not just a nepo product but he truly deserves to be where he's standing now in his career.

When nepotism meets talent, RANBIR KAPOOR happens 💯❤️

"My girlfriend ALIA"😫 RANBIR was never been this much articulated and confident publicly like this😭💖

What I like about Kapoor Jr is this: he is not in social media posting political nonsense on a daily basis and he doesn't go around giving a dozen useless interviews every week. Keeps his personal life personal and focuses on his craft. I appreciate that.

If u have come here to see just the “ranbir talking about alia” part,its at 27:00😌

This man lost his father who he was really close to and he is still grieving. More power to him for handling the interview so beautifully. My respect continues to grow for the most humble and the greatest actor, of all time.

His calm and humble composure always attracts me... You would never get bored of watching him... And one thing more that he always accepts his privileges which only a few do. And that's make him a gem 💎

Not a single negative comment under the interview! Ranbir has really made a huge impact on people with his humble and down to earth nature!

How can somebody hate him😓😓❤️❤️ .He is so genuine and kind hearted 💕💕💕💕💕

He is not a star kid he is an actor!

26:52 Did he just say, 'My girlfriend Alia', My heart💓🤧 He surely loves her, like he's never loved anyone before....❣️

He is such a humble and nice hearted guy .. Ranbir you are the best actor of this generation.. Ranbir you deserve all the love and praise.. ❤️❤️❤️

His answer to pandemic question... And he again accepted his privillages...Gem of a person

Complete package of sense, humor, looks, generous, accent, honest, knowledge, patience when repeatedly told about having a gap.. Great Talent worth watching. Luv u RK❤

my girlfriend Aliaaa...... OMG like he really clearly accepted his relationship with her... without any twisting of wordss

No matter how much we criticise Nepotistic stars,this guy truly stands out among the rest..His acting talents and the way he showcase his characters draws attention of viewers ..There is some spark in him ..He knows his job very well and he is the best at it🥰🥰🥰

Seriously the scene from Barfi when he gets rejected by Shruti’s family is one of his best acting performances till date!

Alia and Ranbir both are lucky to get each other as couple... But i feel Alia is more lucky to get such a matured, dignified, simplicity, kind and good hearted person And Ranbir is lucky for getting a girl who likes him from her childhood and finally both are together True love finds the ways to get together Happy for both of them and hope they will be staying together

Finally a Ranbir Kapoor interview! Thank you, Rajeev ❤

Comment section makes me feel that there are still people who can differentiate between nepo products and real talent🙂

Look at him how humble he is, every starkid must learn from him.. Ranbir;The real Rockstar!

One thing about him has never changed when someone complimented him about his work or flims everytime he says thank you from his heart it shows in his eyes although he get many compliments like that but still it looks very real That he is glad about how we all appreciate his work , You are truely a genuine and a nice person i am your fan since a long time And will be your fan forever only & only because of how the person you are Just be happy and shinning we all love you 🥰✨💕✨💕

With time Ranbir has become soo soo mature, grounded, calm and likable...

After reading the comment section, I was like thank god that there are some people who still knows real Ranbir.😌 otherwise these meme pages are only trolling him.

He is so calm and composed...a gentleman in all respects

Look at his humbleness. He's such a down to earth guy. How he mentions names of the questioners and greets them before answering their questions damn i love this guy so much. The one product of nepotism who's worth all the supports. But still there is so many people who loves to troll him. shame!

Finally an interview with all positive comments 😌😌😌😌

He's the best actor in this generation. He's so intelligent and charismatic and his passion for acting is just phenomenal.

He is truly in love with Alia🥺💜 His eyes says it all! He was not this person with any of his other gfs! So happy to see this change in him💖

Every one knows his great acting skills. But many people don't know his humility, good nature. I want people to understand him through his ivs and films. Not from gossip columns.

There is something so soothing and truthful in Ranbir Kapoor which cannot be explained, he is so dedicated and humble, he keeps acknowledging he is privileged. Certainly looking forward to watching more of his films. Hands down the greatest actor of this generation.

Thank God, everybody's supporting him here on this thread, Ranbir's one of the best actors of this generation 🔥🙏

He is slap on face of people who generalise and mock starkids ....bhai acting bhi to dekho!❤⚡ RK jaisi intense acting shyd hi koi kr sktaa hai.

The only indian actor of the 20th century that is so genuine and humble and so talented. You can never dislike a single movie he has done. Best thing about bollywood right now is Ranbir Kapoor !!

Yesterday I was rewatching rajneeti and was missing this gem. You just vanished. No movies no news now a days Thanx for the interview 👍

After Shah Rukh Khan, If there’s anyone that deserves to be stanned, its Ranbir Kapoor.

Believe it or not, He's the Best actor of this generation!!❤💯

Being a fellow introvert I can so connect to him..he is so genuine, warm n mature as a person..love u ranbir..I still remember watching Rockstar movie it was a heart melting experience fr me n one of my favorites..u r an outstanding actor ❤

The maturity with which Ranbir speaks is just outstanding... He never fails to impress me with his words! ❤❤

I used to hate star kids because I believed in Kansana Ranaut and how she said all of them are bad but now I like these star kids because they aren’t bad human beings. Yes they are privileged but it’s not their fault. I don’t like Kangana anymore ever since her comments on Kisaan protest

This comments section brings back my faith for my fellow citizens. Kudos to us.

Talented, handsome, grounded, humble, no show off and on and on. How can one not like him ❤️

I still remember watching his film AJAB PREM KI GAZAB KAHANI in theatre.I literally became a fan of him .I was 5 years old

How can someone hate this person . Haters are blind . They only know to hate . He's acting skills r the best , he's polite .

One request- please don't come on Social media. It's pathetic. Genuine person like you don't deserve trolls🙏.

Other starkids are defaming Ranbir.He shouldn't be in a bracket with varun,ananya, janvi, arjun.

Salute to him for being so strong talking about his dad and his legacy !

You can tell how good of a man he is just by the way he answers these questions. There's certain passion in how he talks about his loved ones and his projects and I bet most of the audiences can feel it through the screen.

One thing that he's successfully managed is keeping the mystique of stardom alive. Whether it's being absent on social media, rarely making appearances in front of the electronic media, or being evasive in general in the public eye. Which is no mean feat in a time when stars have made themselves so accessible to the public with a 24*7 social media presence and PR overkills. To not hog the limelight constantly and still keep yourself so relevant and interesting is really nothing short of great. In a way his style of stardom is anachronistic. It belongs to the golden era of Hindi cinema, the 50s, 60s and 70s to be precise.

You guys cant doubt an aorta of him as a great actor ..Be it Tamasha or YJHD or Barfi or ROCKSTAR .. You cant deny you really loveeee atleast two of these movies

This man has my heart! ❤️🌼❤️ I will forever be a RK fangirl! People hate him way too much and this breaks my heart 🥺

He is supremely talented , extremely handsome, charming and a very humble human being.. nepotism CANNOT take away his qualities... people screaming nepo nepo need to get a life.

Every time he is saying..I'm privileged...I'm like..man this man is honest..

Ranbir is such a sweet guy...always humble and down to earth....when he talked about losing parent broke my heart.😔😔.. I just want to give him a hug and never let him go❤❤

He is one of few actors where I watch the whole interview. Not because I am his fan but because one gets to learn so much from his interveiws his ideas, his personality, answering a questoin. Such a talented amazning person.

I like how he calls himself an ARTIST rather an ACTOR.♥️

He gets alot of crap from people all the time...but he comes across like such a genuine person. Hopefully we get to see more of him soon❤🧡💚

Ranbir, you've grown so much as a person. Rooting for you all the way.

You may or may not like him.. but you cant deny he is probably the best actor Bollywood has ever had.. I second this remark made by Ayushmaan.. my favorite.. it's great to see him after a long time.

Bollywood's best. Ranbir is classy, composed and dignified. Conducts himself with maturity. My favourite.

My god such high gravitas and what an aww factor he leaves whenever we watch ranbir everytime he presents himself on screen is mesmerising 😍😍😍

I have always said this and i continue to stand by it. Bollywood does not deserve Ranbir kapoor. What an amazing actor he is.

The bollywood people still don't know his real worth. They just treat him like he's just another nepo product. If he was in kollywood or mollywood, his talent would have been used properly n wisely. And also he would have gained massive fan following. btw, he's one of the most loved bollywood actors in South.❤️

No matter what people say about nepotism, he is sure one of the best product of it . No one can deny he is one of the best actor of this generation.

he doesn't need to be on social media and get face time with is fans, His movies are enough.

Tbh I was not a Ranbir fan until I saw Rockstar this year... I did a complete 180 from not liking Ranbir to becoming his fan after watching Rockstar....And I admit it..... He has that "Star" essence in him which is very rare to be seen in actors nowadays... They may be good actors but they ain't star material....I am much awaited for Brahmastra.

Do not join social media! Save yourself!

He did this interview not for promoting any film but for his followers because he is not on social media👍 ... Thats why he is such a great actor 👌

The best 52 mins i spent on RU-vid this year

I loved listening to Ranbir. He comes across as someone who thinks first, and then acts, I love that. Social media is so overrated, noisy and grossly misused, and he's absolutely right, that he gets to show his authenticity through his performance - and even his interviews such as this - so why stretch that onto another platform. I think social media takes away the allure and interest from an actor/actress, especially when you know too much about them. I also felt that he is spot on when he talked about the evolution of Indian cinema and the genres in which it works in. OTT, cinema and TV gives directors and producers the room to explore different types of genres and create an experience for each platform. It has to be a combination of content + experience. I'd love for the musical genre to be reserved for the big screen. I've grown up watching Indian cinema, the dance and music is an immersive experience and best had on a cinema screen. I hope Indian music and dance makes a comeback, I'm tired of the overtly Westernised dance sequences and style of music. I think this is an interesting time for Indian cinema, so it's exciting to see what happens and which direction filmmakers explore next.

I've been Ranbir Kapoor fans since wake up Sid and I've never wanted him to be on social media because his movies, songs and interviews are enough to feel the connection ❤️

There's something about him that makes him stand out from every human in the film fraternity. He is a pure gem♥️

Ranbir is Love.. First time he said "My Girlfriend Alia"

it just feels like, he cant fake so please dont ask me for interviews. He is extremely polite and humble here , feels like just another human.

Ranbir is one of the greatest actors and definitely someone who is very humble and genuine..some people should jst stop spreading hatred for him!!i always hope his films are made good and are successfull

Ranbir is so refreshing. He’s cool, calm, and collected and he doesn’t feel the need to splash his personal life all over social media just because every other person on the planet it seems like is on it as soon as they have a phone and internet access. I’m glad he doesn’t let the pressure of keeping up with the Jones’s get to him and he has stayed true to himself.

Ranbir's interviews are so rare damn .He's words are so good to hear as Saif's !They should do a interview together .

Probably the only actor who accepts he is privileged.. makes him so real & natural. So many actors/actresses needs to learn this.

He really looks so good now! He is happy now! He used to look too tired and lifeless.. barely smiling ....maybe it was because his father wasn't well. I can see the charm coming back! RK is gonna come back soooo strong! ❤️ I hope he takes his position back #1 wins lots and lots of awards! 🌼 ILY RK 🥺🌸

Jagga Jasoos was admirable. Sadly it didn’t work out with the audience at large. But hopefully these two will work.

My girlfriend alia 😂❤ The way he talks about alia is so adorable!!! When he said I feel underachiever in front of her, I was in awe of them 😂❤💃💃Literally first time I see Ranbir truly loves someone and she loves him genuinely too. May god bless this couple... My aloobir shipper's heart is crying ❤😭

Wonderful interview. Am not a fan of Ranbir, but he comes across as aware of his privileges and passionate about cinema. He is one of few actors whose interviews I watch from beginning to end , without cringing. Thanks Rajeev for this one
