I am a believer of all religions. I will happily visit a temple, mosque, church. I do not differentiate between religions.
Rishi Kapoor
The creative mind is restless.
I respect religious rules. I am a true God-fearing Hindu.
I firmly believe in destiny, so let's see what my luck has in store for me.
I always try to be different and play varied kind of characters.
Even my early memories of Chandni Chowk are all about food.
The fire within you as an actor should always keep burning. That should be the mantra for any good actor.
My son was named after my father, whose name was Ranbir Raj Kapoor.
I have never really hit a gym.
Generally, when I am working, I tend to learn from my seniors and juniors.
I will not do a run of the mill kind of a film or role. I will not say yes to that.
I have tried to look different and play different roles through my life because I am passionate about my work.
Since I am as evil as can be, I do need religion to offset my evilness!
He is absolutely on his own, and we never interfere in any of his decisions. When Ranbir joined the industry, he told his mother that he wanted to portray characters which a boy of his age would do in real life.
My image was that of a romantic, soft hero.
All my performances have been unrehearsed.
I like to call myself as son of famous father and father of famous son.
No actor has 100 percent track record.
I am no champion, no great name, just a small actor who loves working for cinema.
I am not advocating beef eating. But I am advocating freedom to have an opinion and a voice.
The R K banner has had this tradition to make good films, and good films always take a lot of time to complete because of the hassles involved.
I really want that there should be love and respect between me and Ranbir, but at the same time, I want that there should be some kind of distance - that I can see you, but I can't feel you.
Being religious and spiritual makes me feel good.
I have no enmity with anyone.
It was a stroke of luck when I worked in 'Agneepath.' It was a great role, something different for me.
I never argued with my father, and it so happened that, unfortunately, the same kind of relationship passed on with me and Ranbir.
I do not care about the length of my role. But it should make a difference to the story.
People are fed up of formula films, and we are getting new space to experiment.
When I did 'Kapoor & Sons,' I had a prosthetic look. It would take me six-and-a-half hours daily for 20, 25 days.
For the first 25 years of my career, I did nothing but sing and dance.
There are ups and downs in every relationship. But that does not mean that couples should separate or get down to inhuman behaviour.
If you want rubbish, you will get rubbish.
My head was in the clouds after 'Bobby,' but my struggle had only begun because at the age of 21, I had become a hero. But then I had realized that I have to keep my feet on ground.
My first love is acting, not directing.
If our Hindu culture forbids beef meat, does the same culture give you the right to abuse me and my family just because I have an opinion that you don't agree with?
Any cinema has to be entertaining. Boring cinema won't work. If you want to make one, then screen it for free on TV.
I know for a fact that many people repent and want to do away with their tattoos. It is all marketing and hype and nothing else. Also, tattoos stand out on fair and not wheatish complexion. God has given you a body. Why spoil it?
I am spontaneous and not a method actor.
By the grace of God, my son's career is doing very well.
I would love to do a Punjabi film.
All my life, I struggled to get roles.
It is an advantage to be born in Kapoor family and to be known by that name, but it also a burden because there are lots of expectations from you.
I have worked with Asin earlier in 'Housefull 2.' We had a good time working together.
I am not a spokesperson for any political person or party.
An actor's journey is never fulfilled. We always look for greener pastures, better roles, better creativity. We all want to do good work.
I am not because of my father, and my son Ranbir Kapoor is not because of me.
Both my kids are above 30 now... grown up enough to take their own decisions.
I'm not interested in playing the villain as a loud caricature, one-dimensional character. I am trying to humanise evil. If you see my character in 'Aurangzeb,' I am not trying to act evil.
I block the trolls.
If you want to show cinema, make entertainment films. Sometimes they are very good, sometimes very bad, but the intention is always to make entertaining films.
