His grandfather Raj Kapoor was a legendary actor-director, and his father Rishi Kapoor was a celebrated actor, while his mother Neetu Singh is also a respected actress.

He has played everything from a troubled musician in “Rockstar” (2011) to a historical figure in “Besharam” (2013) and a gangster in “Barfi!” (2012), earning praise for his emotional depth and naturalistic style. His performances have won him multiple Filmfare Awards, India’s most prestigious film honours. Apart from his acting, Ranbir is known for his charismatic personality and down-to-earth demeanour. Media and fans often highlight his humility despite fame. He has been linked romantically with high-profile actresses, most notably Deepika Padukone and is currently married to Alia Bhatt, another leading Bollywood star.
