Ranbir Kapoor feels jealous of his contemporaries?
Mumbai: After Ranbir Kapoor's last film 'Bombay Velvet' failed to cast its spell on the box office, be it due to the word of mouth or social media, the actor has now been opening up about his work culture on several interviews.
While most actors like to keep a mask of diplomacy upfront while speaking to media, Ranbir on the other hand like to confront the truth. In an interview given to Hindustan Times the actor spoke about how he goes green with envy when looking at his contemporaries perform better than him. “I always want to know what films are happening and what work my contemporaries are doing. This is because I have a competitive streak in me, and it’s not in a negative way. That streak inspires me and pushes me to do better in my films. And when I see a good performance by any of my contemporaries, or my seniors, I feel jealous. I feel jealous in a way that I think, "Why am I not a part of this film?" I’m not a recluse in a way that I shut off from the world and sit at home. I’m aware of what’s happening around me,” he shared.
Ranbir of late has shied away from the media. The actor does not like the media intruding into his personal life and feels that having a publicist or a PR is a dirty game. “I did have a publicist initially, but then I realised that it’s a dirty game. Even though you don’t put anything about yourself, your PR people fight with others in the field. They plant things and then you take the blame for it. You’re the name behind it. But I think a good PR for me would be to keep me away from the news.”
He further added, “I think to just come back with a movie, start talking about it, would be good PR. But, I have no negativity towards it; I don’t think I’m saving the world. I’m not a doctor or the president of this country. I’m an actor and people want to know about my life, like how I probably want to know what Leonardo DiCaprio is doing, or what Jennifer Lawrence is up to when she’s not doing a film."
