Ranbir Kapoor: No attachment to success or failure

Actor Ranbir Kapoor said over the years he has realised that he can't be too attached to the success or the failure of his films, especially after his debut project bombed at the box office.

Ranbir made his debut with the 2007 Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial Saawariya which tanked at the box office.


The actor, who introduced his cousin Aadar Jain on Wednesday at a event, was asked what advice would he give to the youngster who will be making his debut in a Yash Raj Film.

"My first film Saawariya was such a huge disaster. So, I was prepared for it (the ups and downs). I am quite detached from successes and failures of my films. I wish Aadar and Aanya Singh adapt and not get attached to their success and failure too much," Ranbir told reporters.

The actor, who has worked in several critically acclaimed and blockbuster films like Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year, Barfi, and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, said when one makes his or her debut, there are several people ready to offer advice.

"When I was new in the film industry, many people gave me a lot of advice, seniors, family members. But I guess everybody has to make their own journey. Until he (Aadar) falls, he won't know how to stand up again. Until he see his first success, he won't be able to take credit for it," Ranbir said.

The 34-year-old actor said the film industry is a place where the decision making has to come from the concerned individual and not from anyone else.

"I don't like to give any advice. If he comes to me to ask whether he should do a film which has been offered to him, I can't say 'do it, it'll be good for your career.' If the film doesn't work later, it'll be wrong. We are in such an industry where it has to be your decision, your gut feeling."

Yash Raj Films will launch Aadar, grandson of late actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor in a film where he will star opposite another debutant, Anya Singh.

The film will be directed by Habib Faisal, who launched Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra in his 2012 movie Ishaqzaade.

Soha Ali Khan reveals facing criticism since 2015 for her interfaith marriage to Kunal Kemmu

Being part of a high-profile family hasn't shielded Soha Ali Khan from criticism especially when it comes to personal choices that defy conventional boxes. Despite her calm public demeanour, Soha recently shared how she continues to receive unwarranted remarks about her interfaith marriage with actor Kunal Kemmu, even a decade after tying the knot.

Soha and Kunal’s relationship has often been under public gaze, not because of their work in films or parenting approach, but because they come from different religious backgrounds. Married since 2015, the couple has been quietly raising their daughter, Inaaya, while often posting glimpses of their celebrations whether Diwali or Eid. But each post is met with an odd barrage of questions. “How many rozas have you kept?” is one of the recurring comments she sees if she shares a Diwali picture. During Holi, people ask, “What kind of Muslim are you?”
