[edit] Personal life
Born to popular actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, Ranbir Kapoor is the brother of Riddhima Kapoor. He is also the great grandson of Prithviraj Kapoor and grandson of actor Raj Kapoor. His uncles are Randhir Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor, and his cousins include Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and Nikhil Nanda.
[edit] Career
Kapoor made his debut in November 2007 with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya opposite newcomer Sonam Kapoor. The film failed to do well at the box office, though he received many positive reviews for his portrayal of the lovesick singer, Ranbir Raj. Critic, Taran Adarsh commented, "Ranbir Kapoor is supremely talented, no two opinions on that. Yes, he looks handsome, but what you carry home is the sincerity in his performance. If that's the [high] level of performance in his debut film, this lad will only make the Kapoor clan proud in years to come. It's a 10 on 10 for this debutante."[1]
He has been confirmed to star in Siddharth Anand's untitled film, produced by Yash Raj Films,[2] along with Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba.
