Trivia

# The fourth generation Kapoor has already proven that he does belong to the first family of Bollywood, with varied performance in films from Saawariya to Raajneeti.
# Before starting off his career as an actor, Kapoor worked as an assistant with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, where he was involved in the making of the films ‘Black’ (2005) and ‘Prem Granth Aa Ab Laut Chalen’.
# Ranbir Kapoor to be the brand ambassador of Nokia, Tata DOCOMO, Nissan Motor India, Pepsi, ITC's John Players.
# He was dating the actress, Deepika Padukone. However, their relationship seems to have ended after 2 years in November 2009. There are unconfirmed rumours that it was because of the vibes he shared with Katrina Kaif.
Ranbir Kapoor seems to have come out to accept that he cheated on Deepika Padukone. ‘Infidelity’ Ranbir Kapoor added is what breaks the relationship. This was after Deepika Padukone went on to say that a certain boyfriend of hers cheated on her and he told to the film magazine that, "Yes, I have, out of immaturity, out of inexperience, out of taking advantage of certain temptations, out of callousness. You realise it now, when you grow up and you value it more why be in a relationship, why be committed to someone when you cannot be committed? I've realised that now. That's why I don't want to jump into a relationship with anybody because ... unless you have a special bond, a special equation with somebody, somebody who you can be committed to, somebody who can trust you, who you can respect, there's no point”.
On the birthday of Ranbir Kapoor, actress Deepika Padukone had visited him to wish him a very happy birthday. The broken up couple of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are to star in a movie together very soon. It is not clear if Deepika Padukone would forgive him and get back with him, specially after her alleged relationship with Siddharth Mallya.
Personal Quotes:
“ I prefer to let my work speak for myself and I like to communicate with my fans through the kind of films that I do”.
“It’s a mystery to me. I don't want to tell people 'I am eating now,' 'Now I am walking to the bathroom.' I don't understand the need to share these boring details of my daily routine with the whole world. I don't think I am interested in Twitter that much”.
“It's not about wearing expensive or brands. It's something that makes you feel comfortable. There are no strict rules. It's about what you want to wear and how you carry it”.
“ I've watched my mom's films, but I was not comfortable. People would judge her and I don't like anyone else judging my mother. I am possessive about her”.
“I'm not married and I love women. I'm very heterosexual, so dating women is something I'm not ashamed of. But my love life is not as exciting as it is reported to be”.
# Ranbir who has been making headlines for his various link-ups, says he enjoys the casanova tag, but wishes his life was actually as "exaggerated" as they make it out to be. "Initially it was embarrassing. Now, it's okay. I enjoy it sometimes. Not everything written is a lie though. Eighty per cent of it is the truth, the exaggerated version, of course. They make my life out to be more glamorous than it actually is. On the contrary, I lead a very simple life. I wake up, brush my teeth, go to work and come back home," says Ranbir.
