Well, its none other than the shining Kohinoor of the Kapoor khandaan. Ranbir Kapoor was born to one of the greatest actor and actresses of their time, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. The actor allegedly feels burdned by the entire shebang of being tagged as the guy born with the silver spoon. He wants to make his own identity and would like to do it without the help of his parents.
He says, “I want people to recognize me by my work. I am burdened by this tag called ‘the star son’. People say I got everything easily, yes, I got my first film easily because people were curious about me. After that I have worked hard, experienced things. It is important to make an identity of my own.”
He further adds, “My parents feel very proud when somebody calls them Ranbir Kapoor’s parents. Every father and mother wants that for their child. I hope that I make them proud and carry forward the legacy of my family in my own distinct way.”
His latest movie, Besharam is set for a second october release and it’s the first time when he shared screen space with both his parents. Was he nervous? Yes! He says, “I was very scared about how I will work with him (Rishi). I have never looked into my father’s eyes till now. I had to call him ‘mote’, ‘dharti pe bhoj’, I was like how will I say that. He gave me courage and never made me feel uncomfortable. I am very scared of him. But on a film set he becomes the character.”
Ranbir Kapoor further added “He has always been my favorite actor and now I finally got a chance to work with him. I can finally tell my children that I have worked with your grandfather”.
