Ranbir Kapoor talks about coming from an illustrious family in the industry and the privileges of becoming an actor.

Ranbir Kapoor is one of the most famous faces in Bollywood, having established himself as a leading star in the industry in a career spanning almost two decades.

‘I got it very easily in my life’

During the speech Ranbir said, “I am a product of nepotism and I have had it very easy in my life, but I always had to work hard because I realized that I come from this kind of family and if I don’t have an individualistic approach and if I don’t make a name for myself, I won’t be able to succeed in the film industry. You guys celebrate my family’s successes a lot, but there are a lot of failures too, and as much as you learn from the successes. You learn just as much from your successes.” Failures.”

He further added, “What I feel about being born in this family, for me it was like any other normal family, I didn’t know any better. There were a lot of arguments, but not the domestic kind. They would argue over a scene or the right lyrics of a song.” Ranbir is the son of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. He is the grandson of late Raj Kapoor.
