Sonam Kapoor & Rajkummar Rao on Nepotism, Theatre vs Films & More | The Meeting Ground 

This is Rajkumar Rao's best acting performance yet!! I bow down to him for not laughing at some parts and keeping a straight face through most of Sonam's answers. You are a maestro Sir.

We’re all here tolerating sonam just because we want to see Raj

This was entertaining :) Sonam is like, I'm ameer and you're gareeb. So you're naturally good at gareeb roles whereas I have to do a lot of preparation coz I know nothing about gareebi. I don't know why people keep casting me for gareeb roles.

Rajkumar is looking at Sonam like what the hell is she talking about😂😂😂😂😂

i gotta say she is too confident for a person who is not a good actress

this is surreal. Sonam talking about acting with Rajkummar!

This interview is straight HILARIOUS. God know what's sonam is speaking and rajkumar's expressions are priceless.😂😂😂😂😂

There is not even an ounce of humility in this woman . She comes across as delusional

Did she just call herself a senior actor infront of Rajkummar Rao? This woman has some serious introspection to do!! Weighing by the work they do, she should really learn from Rajkummar!

The fake smile on Rajkumar’s face says it all. It says it all for all of us. What a waste of time and opportunity.

Now I can see from where Ananya Pandey learned to struggle Ananya Pandey is Sonam Part 2😂

This was hilarious on so many levels XD .. First Sonam behaving like she's senior to RajKumar and insulting him , Rajkumar's subtle sarcasm and laughing at her on a low-key manner and blatantly insulting her too. Really one of the funniest interview I've seen

Sonam ... you are ridiculously ridiculous . Its a tragedy.

Star sons daughter obviously have an edge. Sonam you are lying, star son will still have a movie even after 20 flops, While rajkumar has only one shot to make or break into bollywood.

I feel he was talking about Sonam when he mentions at 12:18 “somebody is so bad, so bad and i still have to see them in 25 movies” 😂 and his reply “Accha!” So sarcastically funny!

Hurts my head whenever Sonam speaks. The amount of privilege she has & how she conveniently sweeps it under the carpet. I mean her getting a bloody National Award for Neerja was a frikkin joke. Like Arjun Deewar Rampal. And jeez Rajkumar, that juggernaut , having to share the stage with her #facepalm.

10:45 "I auditioned my ass off" I don't deny she worked hard in her movies, but no one can deny what Rajkummar Rao has been trying to tell her: She had the upper hand from the very beginning. It was a cakewalk for her with a successful father. She CHOSE to take 5 years to get her first movie when she totally could've sooner, but outsiders don't have that kinda privilege.

how r they even WORTH talking to each other ..? RR is on a diff level of acting altogether.. ..Sonam DUH!!!

This is Sonam's biggest achievement, sitting with Rajkumar Rao in this interview 😁

This interview gets funnier by the minute; Sonam says, "I have a certain technique when working on a film."

Probably the worst actress of Bollywood with one of the best actor of Bollywood. Lol😂😂

Legends can understand how sarcastically Rajkumar rao looking at Sonam's face, I mean it's bloody hillarious man😂😂😂

Jennifer Aniston was daughter of Nancy Dow, not a Star daughter. Brad pitt son of William Pitt, was not a Star son. Bolne ko kuch bhi? Also kudos to Rajkumar for sitting patiently throughout the interview.

I love how Rajkumar circles back to nepotism discussion at 10:23 like you thought you were going to get away that easy? That was just round one.

Sonam Kapoor's comment at 9:44 and the consequent smile/smirk from Rajkumar Rao at 9:50 is just priceless. How can anyone be so blind to their own incompetence?

6:20 Just look at Rajkumar's face, that is so meme material, I can't stop laughing 😂 I feel sorry for him and at the same time appreciate him for having that amount of patience with her.

What's with Rajkumar Rao fate Here with Sonam and on tapecast with Farah Khan 😂😂😂

Raj kummar should get an oscar for this patience

This is funny !! Sonam calling herself senior than rajkumar !! In the scale of acting ur not even there on it ... Respect For Rajkumar for even tolerating this bimbo ... And please spare us from ur direction

Never seen a dumb, in her own world, blinded to other's perspectives, INSECURE, actor. But what a contrast of characters in real life. Rajkumar Rao is exactly opposite of Sonam and they share the same platform is a disgrace due to nepotism of Bal-i-wood.

That was a difficult forced conversation. I thought Rajkumar was honest.

Rajkumar was trying so hard not to laugh .. I think this was his best acting XD

One word that accurately describes sonam ....... pretentious

Rajkumar Rao deserved to be on this interview with an actor on his level, you guys missed this opportunity. Maybe with Kangana or Nawazuddin. I hope you do this with him again.

The contrast here is that when Rajkumar speaks about his role as an actor, he focuses on explaining art and method of acting which will take us quite closer into what it takes for one person to be able to get into several characters written on scripts. But when Sonam speaks it's all about one person and that is her. This is the clear evident situation happening in the video.

Sonam kapoor about acting ....Ahahaha Dhinchak Pooja about music ...One n d same

It's ok to think of yourself as beautiful but to think that you're "too beautiful" and that's why you're being judged is pretty egotistical and douchey.

Forget about the characters she plays sonam is not believable as a human being :)

OK so Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are far from star kids..I mean both of their parents were small time actors...far from stars...Star kid syndrome is so peculiarly Bollywood so much so that there is no leading men in Bollywood at present other than Shahrukh who was an outsider.......Sonam should listen to Jennifer's story a little bit...And Sonam please please, nobody thinks you are too beautiful...nobody...

The complete absence of music and the silence after her weird remarks is just on point 😂 I literally thought it's a skit at a point. She's that ridiculous!

Thanks Jammy for this gem...I mean...I just can't believe this girl here...she has guts nd disillusion

She doesn't like looking at herself in the mirror. So that's the reason she's so self-unaware 🤡

My fav was when she did the “the Zoya project” movie with Dulquer Salmaan who by the way is literally the biggest South Indian actors son, she had the audacity to say “I’m anil kapoor’s daughter he’s soooooo famous” and Dulquer sat there like so humble never bringing up his father, who by the way is probably BIGGER and better actor than Anil Kapoor and still to do this day is acting incredible films…she has no ounce humility in her

@12:17 Rajkumar exactly describes Sonam Kumar n that expression on Sonam of being indignant is satisfying.

"The star actors dont have an upper hand but they have a protection. They are in view of everyone in the industry." Such logic can only be expected from sonam kapoor. So unbearable. Even kardashians have more substance than her.

6:36. Sonam: I'm passionate about acting. Me: Mast Joke Mara Re Baba!

12:18 OMG rajkumar rao Indirectly insults her 😂😂😂

Rajkummar reminds me of Shah Rukh Khan in some way, he has the same fire and the same thoughness and smartness

The time when Sonam talked about “some” star-kids’ fathers having so much money as to keep producing their films!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 Her talking about herself and Raj just smiles and says “achcha” 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

This vedio should be nominated for Oscar, for rajkumaar 😌

She is extremely nervous, trying to prove something that she is not, quite hard controlling that she is nothing infront of rajkumar

If you want see the patience look at rajkumar .

look at his face at 6:22 he's clearly not intrested in sitting with her.

I feel like Sonam thinks anyone who dislikes her is because she's so much greater than everyone, while that's true for a lot of people. Sonam it's not for you, you're just someone who fails to recognise or see their privelege and there's nothing more unlikable than someone who doesn't acknowledge what they've been gifted with and how it makes their life better than others.

1) Why is Sonam Kapoor recounting the syllabus in her theater school when Rajkummar asked her about her theater days? "I studied Brecht, Artaud, Edward Gordon Craig, Stanislavski, everything." 2) Why is Sonam Kapoor spouting about the difference between theater-acting and film-acting when RR asked her "What do you like now..directing or acting?"

Major applauses to Raj Kumar for being so calm and composed and also trying to not wanting to laugh out loud at some of Sonams delusional statements..

Sonam Kapoor for acting = Rahul G for politics = Dhinchak Pooja for signing.

Rajkummar Rao looks amusingly awkward in this interview. It must feel really strange for an artist of his calibre to sit with a below-average actor with a weird accent, speaking about "acting methods". He must be tempted to tell her how pathetic she is onscreen, but hesitates bcoz she is daughter of a powerful actor-producer. That smile of his at 12.49. He was talking about Sonam only. 😂

Rajkumar saying "and you make me look better" hits good.

poor rajkumar had to listen blah blah all the time blh blah m the best blah blah i m fan of meryl streep

At 12:17, you just get the feeling that Rajkumar might as well have yelled 'UDAY CHOPRA!', but of course Sonam was way too smart to get that.

Senior actor???? He can shatter ur bullshit seniority with his talent...kudos to raj Kumar rao for bearing her all through the interview

15:51 The audacity!!

I want a Round table conference of Sonam, Bhagnani, Abhishekh, Arjun, Imran, Athiya, Harsh, Sona, Shraddha on one side and Kangana, Raj, Patralekha, Swara, Richa, Radhika on the other end.

"took me five years to get my first film.. Im not easy person to work with.." something someone like Sonam would say

10:47 "I auditioned my ass off" Wth?! Look at her language. And I somehow lost what shes saying in her interviews. First she tells us that Sanjay Leela Bansali came to her, and now she auditioned? I cant take her seriously because: -she lies -shes arrogant - she cant act to save her life - she reads a lot and copies the theories and what not, I mean words like "meticulous" or "incestuous" are def not her own words. But she thinks that using them will make her sound smart about the film industry etc. - as an actor one should work on the outcome of sounds, but her voice is irritating - if she had not been Anil Kapoors daughter, she would not have anything to do with films - btw: Abhishek Bachan could stay in the industry even after 17 flops! Star child. Good actors like Rajkumar oder Kangana have to prove themselves again and again but she can dance her way around this industry and I swear to God: no on finds her beautiful, nor a good actress and this is the truth.^^

😂 😂 😂 that scalpel and laser comment and his reaction to it! 😂 😂 😂

It was too hard to skip and watch only Rajkumar parts. Sonam is just annoying. I wish you had cast two actors and not just one in this video.

lmao rajkumar at 0:56 is me throughout this video

So this whole interview is Sonam making fun of herself!

Sonam kapoor-nepotism. Rajkumar rao-saving Bollywood from getting extinct he is superb actor

Rajkumar is surely one of the finest actors of Bollywood.Love to hear his views on cinema

The arrogance coming out of this woman. I feel really bad for all those people who had to encounter her.

Sonam talking about acting, co-star sounds funny...she doesn't know acting at all....

I need the confidence of Sonam. Speaking about her acting in such a straight face.

12:50 Rajkumar rocks Sonam Kapoor pissed 😂😂

Sonam Kapoor is unbearable. She needs to be banned from films.

Let aside her thoughts and mentality, even her personality, etiquettes and body language is ridiculous for me to not being around people like her ever. ❤️

While talking about star sons, i think rajkumar was talking about Jackie bhagnani...

Dear Sonam, did you even realise that you are just making a fool out of yourself here ?? This interview is just hilarious for all the wrong reasons possible 😂😂😂😂

Such an ironic interview 😂 I just couldn't stop smirking and laughing.. and Idk how Rao regulated his inhibitions here!

@6:21-6:22 That jaded smile on RR's face says it all.

He can barely tolerate her...is so obvious. "i am the senior actor" says Ms Kapoor

13:09 is she calling herself too beautiful?👀 Also does she think her roles are typecast and limited because she's too beautiful? She's giving us all second hand embarrassment. Aishwarya Rai who is considered the prettiest woman in the world nailed non glamorous roles like Guru or Sarabjeet. Priyanka who was Miss world did Barfi. They never considered their looks a hurdle for their acting skills.

Sonam Kapoor is cringeyyy AF.

Loved seeing Sonam teach Raj about acting

12:43, he's probably hinting at Arjun Kapoor (Sonam's cousin).

Did she just say that she was too beautiful??? Is she serious? Damn she is not even close to the real beauties like deepika etc but she did make it. Beauty is a huge factor why people get roles because a lot of girls just need to look good for the movie because they dont have a role that needs more, like katrina kaif, not talent but her body looks good so people like her and directors hire her

9:39 how sarcastically he said.....“hmmm i agree with tht" 😂

12:42 RAJKUMAR OWNED THIS BIMBOOOO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ohh God! I feel so sorry for Raj in this interview. Just look at the body language of these two people--its polar opposite. While Raj seems to be clam composed and knows what he is speaking, Sonam has no idea what she is doing. Just look at her, it looks like she has a huge crush on the guy sitting opposite to her. By the way did you notice she was served coffee and some munchies that she ate and now she is on her sandwich. OMG!!!!!

Sonam Kapoor, you are not too beautiful. Your dark circles, uneven skintone, and ordinary features show when you travel without makeup. There have been actors in Bollywood- Waheeda Rehman, Hema Malini, Sridevi, and Madhuri in the past who are too beautiful and yet considered good actors. Their looks have never come in their way. Every generation has had beautiful women from Raveena and Divya Bharati to Kareena and Priyanka to Deepika and Kangana, who are considered good actors. Please stop blowing your trumpet so hard, Sonam. Now, about nepotism. I once remember Sonam talking about how some actresses have gotten work because of who they date. Really? And you did not get work because of who you know? You are full of crap!

Rajkumar has saint's patience! ❤️

I love how raj is so calm and collected like he always is. If i were him I’d like to SLAP answers in this woman’s face left right and centre

Evidently RRao is not at all engaged rather he is made to sit there for no reason with a brainless girl.

kangana ko irrfan se milaya...woh toh sahi tha,,,,rajkumar ko is bachi se kyun milaya.....u should have got someone like anushka or priyanka

GIVE THE ATTENDANCE all coming from trp video say present sir😌

O ishwar!! She says she didn’t have an advantage of getting work easily and then proceeds to tell a story where her dad gave her about a dozen names of people he knew who she could work with!

11:10 the part I came for, watch Rao tear her down xD

Expression of rajkumar rao is priceless. That proves his brillance in acting
