The actor Ranbir Kapoor has performed on-screen pranks on several of the roles he has played. Ranbir was equally as bad in real life. The actor, who described himself as a “great copyist,” claimed that while he was never caught cheating in school, there was one instance when he attempted to sneak out of a class in progress but was discovered by the principal.
Ranbir reflected on the situation during a talk on Hauser’s YouTube channel. He said, “I think I was a great copier so I never got caught copying but I remember this one instance that I was in the seventh grade or eighth grade where I was crawling out of my class while the class was going on and while I was crawling the principle came and stood in front of me and I got the beating of my life, like he really whacked me and I still remember like us thappad ki goonj mere kaano mein abhi bhi sunayi deti hai. I still recall that specific time. The sound of that smack is still audible to me.
Ranbir is renowned for his subtle acting and will soon be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. When he is not acting, he is frequently seen playing football in Mumbai with his actor pals. Ranbir claimed that his passion for football originally arose during his time in school and that his mother, actor Neetu Kapoor, still has the paper cutout from the first time he scored a goal in a game and received media attention.
“My true calling was football. So, when I was selected for the football team, I was in the sixth grade and I remember that in our competition I scored a goal, and on the back page of The Times of India, all the interschool scorers’ names used to come,” recalled the actor.
“So the first time my name came in the newspaper it was because I scored a goal and I remember my mum had cut the newspaper and she still has it. I think it was one of the biggest moments I still cherish,” he shared.
Animal, which has Anil Kapoor as his on-screen father, will soon feature Ranbir. The unhealthy father-son connection is highlighted in the film, along with how it affected the character of the protagonist. Rashmika Mandanna is also featured in the film.
