Ranbir Kapoor in a podcast talked about a piece of advise which he received from Aamir Khan. Scroll down to read more.
Ranbir Kapoor may have shared the screen with Aamir Khan just a cameo in PK, but the Animal actor often keeps Khan in high regard. Kapoor has expressed his admiration for Aamir several times. Now, as Ranbir appeared on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast People by WTF, he talked about advice that was given to him by Aamir and which he swears by.
During the interview, Ranbir said, “I met him (Aamir) two years back… he was in tears, I asked him what happened, and he’s like, ‘I have spent 30 years of my life and the only relationship I’ve had is with my audience, I don’t have a relationship with my children, I don’t have a relationship with my mother, with his ex-wife (Kiran Rao), she was his wife then.”
He further added, “That’s what this profession takes. You have to give it all. So the endeavour is also to kind of balance your reel life with your real life and not get swayed by this ambition. I don’t want to get swayed by ambition.”
Currently, Ranbir is seen taking out time for his family. The actor will be next seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana with Sai Pallavi. Meanwhile, on the podcast, Ranveer opened up on different topics, including his relationship with his wife Alia Bhatt and daughter Raha. He also shared insights on how he and his late father Rishi Kapoor shared a bond.
Apart from that, for the first time, Ranveer addresses the flak his film Animal faced due to the unlimited bloodshed and misogyny. The actor blamed social media for creating havoc. He said, “Social media played havoc. They needed something to talk about, so they really went to town claiming it was a misogynistic film. What happens is that the hard work that you put in… I know the director had made Kabir Singh, who also faced the same thing, the hard work gets diminished. Because it gets this tag, which isn’t true, the perception stayed with this film.”
The actor added, “So, the general public will speak very fondly about the film, but there are many people I meet who tell me, ‘You shouldn’t have done this film, we are so disappointed in you.’ And a lot of people from the film industry (said the same thing). I quietly apologize and say, ‘Sorry, I won’t do it next time.’ I don’t really agree with them, but I am in that phase of my life where I don’t argue with anyone. If you don’t like my work, I will say I am sorry and will try harder next time.”
