Have only learned from failures: Ranbir Kapoor

Mumbai, Jun 18: He may be one of the most promising young stars of Bollywood, but Ranbir Kapoor says his failures have taught him more than his successes.

The 35-year-old actor, whose last release "Jagga Jasoos" did not do well at the box office, overtook Fox Star Hindi's official Twitter handle today for a Q & A with his fans ahead of the release of his film "Sanju".

When one of the users asked him how he handles failures and stays positive, Ranbir said, "I have only learned from my failures and not from my successes. "

The actor added he always wanted to be in movies and is "grateful" to be able to pursue acting as a career.

"What I have learned since I became a star is that I am very grateful, that I get to do what I love!"

Asked how he celebrates success, Ranbir said, "By wiping the sweat off my forehead and muttering 'bach gaye' (good save) to myself."

The actor, who essays the role of Sanjay Dutt in the upcoming film directed by Rajkumar Hirani, said it is both "terrifying and exciting" to star in someone's biopic.

Ranbir is not active on social media. So, when one of the admirers asked him how it felt to be on Twitter, he said it is "strange" but he is happy to connect with fans on Father's Day.

The actor shared an exclusive snippet from "Sanju", in which he and Paresh Rawal, who plays veteran actor Sunil Dutt in the film, can be seen recreating the memorable 'Jaadu Ki Jhappi' moment from "Munna Bhai MBBS".

Asked if he quarrelled with his real-life father, Rishi Kapoor, Ranbir said he is scared of him and joked he does not even know his eye colour.

"I don't even know what his eye colour is because I've never looked into his eye. However, Happy Father's Day papa. I love you! (sic)" he wrote.

The actor, who previously worked with Rishi in "Besharam", said he would love to collaborate with him again.

Ranbir shared some quality time with his father when they recently watched Argentina play Iceland at 2018 FIFA World Cup

"I am a football fan and papa's a cricket fan! But we watched the Argentina-Iceland game together. It was fun educating him about the sport!" he said.

Also starring Dia Mirza, Vicky Kaushal, Sonam K Ahuja, Anushka Sharma, among others, "Sanju" releases June 29.

New Delhi, Jul 10: Actor Bhumi Pednekar, who is staying indoors like many other Bollywood celebrities, on Friday said that she has learned to prioritise what is important to her amid the COVID-19-induced lockdown.

"One thing that I have learnt about myself is that I love isolation. I love being by myself. I saw a lot of people complaining that they are bored at home or that they cannot go out. I am an extrovert, I am a very social person but this quarantine has led me to realise that I do prefer my isolation over meeting people because I haven't really been in touch with people," she said.

"I have kind of been catching over my reading, not seen much television but started watching shows. I have spent a lot of time with my mom and honesty there were days when I did nothing," she added.

The 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor further said that it was important loving oneself and enjoying one's own company.

"I have kind of prioritised what I feel is important in life. I have re-educated myself. But the biggest learning has been that I love being alone. And maybe I have kind of enjoyed this state because as actors you are constantly surrounded by people whether you are promoting or shooting a film," she said.

"Your immediate entourage is also like a team of quite a few people. You are constantly over the phone, you are constantly over social media," she added.

Pednekar was last seen in Karan Johar's horror film 'Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship,'.

She will next be seen in another horror thriller, 'Durgavati.'
