In another viral video on Instagram, Ranbir’s fans were singing Bulleya, a song from his 2016-film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, as they waited for him at the gate.

Celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Zoya Akhtar, Karan Johar, Aamir Khan including many others came to celebrate Ranbir’s birthday at his Bandra residence. His girlfriend Alia Bhatt co-hosted the party with Ranbir.

Ranbir Kapoor, who made his debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2007-film Saawariya opposite Sonam Kapoor, has millions of fans. His dashing looks and humble nature, apart from his stellar acting makes him a favourite among cinephiles.

Ranbir’s performance in Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar (2011) was widely appreciated by the audience back then. He was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju in 2018, in which he portrayed actor Sanjay Dutt.

He will now be seen in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, in which he is sharing screen space with girlfriend Alia Bhatt for the first time. Amitabh Bachchan will also be seen in the film.

In pics: 13 times when Ranbir made the headlines

Son of veteran actors Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor is known for his performances in films such as “Bachna Ae Haseeno” (2008), “Wake Up Sid” (2009), “Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year” (2009) “Rockstar” (2011), “Barfi!” (2012) and “Sanju” (2018), among others. Here’s a look at some instances where the popular actor made headlines over the years.

Debut movie

He came in the limelight after his debut movie “Sawaariya” (2007) released. Even though the film was not a box office success, he was able to leave a mark with his charisma. In the next couple of years, he went on to star in movies such as “Bachna Ae Haseeno” and “Wake Up Sid,” which were not only commercially successful but also proved his acting talent.

Accused of infidelity

Ranbir and actress Deepika Padukone dated for nearly two years before parting ways in 2009. News reports later said the two broke up because he cheated on her. While speaking to a film magazine, he said, “Yes, I have cheated, out of immaturity, out of inexperience, out of taking advantage of certain temptations, out of callousness. You realise it now, when you grow up and you value it more why be in a relationship, why be committed to someone when you cannot be committed?”

Snapped while vacationing

In 2013, photos of Ranbir and his “Ajab Prem ki Gazab Kahaani” (2009) co-star Katrina Kaif holidaying in Ibiza had sent fans in a tizzy. The two were reportedly in an on-and-off relationship for nearly six years. Speaking about their split in an interview, Katrina said, “Were it selfless love, then I wouldn’t feel the need to assert myself as much in the relationship. I would be more tolerant. I don’t want to be tolerant. I don’t want to accept it, I want to fight. I want to get what I think I deserve.”

Controversy at Koffee with Karan

Ranbir again grabbed headlines when Deepika and his “Saawariya” co-star Sonam Kapoor took a dig at him at Karan Johar’s chat show “Koffee with Karan.” Sonam said, “Ranbir is a great friend but I don’t know if he’s a great boyfriend. Honestly speaking. He’s a really nice guy. He’s got family values, He’s really respectful. I’ve known Ranbir all my life. But as a boyfriend I don’t know. She [Deepika] did a great job hanging around that long.” Deepika, meanwhile, said Ranbir should work on his boyfriend skills.

Chopped off Govinda’s role

Ranbir’s film “Jagga Jasoos” (2017), co-starring Katrina and directed by Anurag Basu, was in news after veteran actor Govinda took to Twitter to express his disappointment over the fact that his role was chopped off from the movie. Ranbir apologized to him, saying, “Unfortunately the entire track has been chopped off; it is our fault, Basu and mine. We had started this film very prematurely, without a complete script. The character had completely changed, and the film was taking so long. It is very irresponsible, and very unfair to cast a great legend like Govinda and not give justice to his role. It is very unfortunate the way things panned out. We are apologetic, but it is for the best for the film that we had to cut that track out.”

Turning producer

With “Jagga Jasoos,” he also made his debut as a producer. When his co-star Katrina was asked about Ranbir’s role as a producer, she said, “I think this [Jagga Jasoos] was the toughest film a producer could ever chose to produce or have in their history of producing film. If he [Ranbir] produces 10 more films in the future it’s very unlikely to have a journey like this as trying and patience testing as this was. So he has done good job.”

Accused of mansplaining

While promoting “Jagga Jasoos” in 2017, Ranbir was accused of mansplaining after he answered almost all the questions that were directed toward Katrina, cutting her off midway. Realizing his mistake, he later apologized by saying, “I have ‘mansplained’ Katrina. That was not my intention. I think next time I’m going to avoid doing that. I am trying to be good. After that… umm… that horrendous… experience, it dawned upon me that I should not be doing it, it’s completely wrong. And I accept all my wrongdoings in every sphere of my life… in every sphere of interviews I have ever done and I shall never do it.”

Fanboy moment with Robert De Niro

Ranbir had a fanboy moment when he met his idol and Hollywood legend Robert De Niro in 2013, while the latter was visiting India. Ranbir took the veteran actor’s autograph and touched his feet as a sign of respect.

Co-owning a football team

He took his passion for football a notch higher when he bought Indian Super League (ISL) team Mumbai City FC in 2014. He is the co-owner of the team, alongside chartered accountant Bimal Parekh.

Comeback film

Ranbir was highly praised by his fans and critics for his portrayal of actor Sanjay Dutt in the 2018 movie “Sanju.” The movie was considered his comeback film as his past few movies such as “Roy” (2015), “Bombay Velvet (2015) and “Ae Dil Hai Muskil” (2016) had not fared well at the box office.

Kangana slams Ranbir

“Queen” star Kangana Ranaut slammed Ranbir for his apolitical stance after he had refused to comment on politics in an old interview, stating that he is satisfied with his luxurious life with regular access to water and electricity. She said, “There are few actors in our industry like Ranbir Kapoor where he has been seen talking in an interview that ‘We have regular supply of water and electricity at my home so, why should I comment about politics?’ But I feel because of this country’s people you are living in your luxurious home and you are travelling in your Mercedes so, how can you talk like that? This is irresponsible behaviour and I am not that kind of person.”

Spotted with Mahira Khan

In 2017, a photo of him and the Pakistani actress hanging out in New York City, New York, U.S., went viral. The leaked photo sparked rumors of him being romantically involved with the “Raees” actress, and several social media users trolled her for being “inappropriately” dressed and smoking. Breaking his silence over the incident, Ranbir said, “It is very unfair the way she is being judged and spoken about. What is also sad is the inequality in judgment just because she is a woman. I request you to stop the negativity and move on with your beautiful god gifted lives. Peace and Love. PS: Both smoking and hate are injurious to health.”

Relationship with Alia Bhatt

The relationship of Ranbir and popular actress Alia Bhatt was confirmed when the two arrived together to attend the wedding reception of Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja in 2018. Commenting on their relationship in an interview, Ranbir stated, “It’s really new right now, and I don’t want to overspeak. It needs time to breathe and it needs space. As an actor, as a person, Alia is – what’s the right word? – flowing right now. When I see her work, when I see her act, even in life, what she gives is something that I’m aspiring to for myself. It’s new for us, so let it cook a bit.”

The couple will be seen together in the movie “Brahmastra.”
