While Ranbir Kapoor visits Anupam Kher at his acting school called 'Actor Prepares', Ranbir talks about living a life of stardom and how he has achieved the greatness as an actor.
Anupam Kher: Ranbir, how would you describe yourself in one word?
Ranbir Kapoor: Shy.
Anupam Kher: Did you have anyone in specific to work with before starting your acting career?
Ranbir Kapoor: Yes, I had Sanjay Leela Bhansali in mind since a long time.
Anupam Kher: How does one become an actor?
Ranbir Kapoor: Good luck and good looks. Because I believe a lot of it goes into direction and cinematography. We actors are not doing much.
Anupam Kher: You were nervous before this meet; do you still get nervous before shoots or interviews?
Ranbir Kapoor: As I said, I'm shy. I don't get nervous. I am used to cameras, interviews and acting so I don't get nervous now but yes because I am shy it seems like it.
Anupam Kher: When did you feel that you have become a star?
Ranbir Kapoor: While I was travelling to Switzerland and other places for 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'. I was wearing fashionable clothes and I said to myself, "Arre Aaj Toh Mein Star Ban Gaya."
Anupam Kher: Ranbir, What do you see while finalizing a film? Is it the script?
Ranbir Kapoor: I select directors, people who know their job well instead of just looking at the script. The most important thing is you need to love something about the film before starting to work into it. Be it your co-star, your director, your costume designer, be it anyone. You need to love something only then you can do your job well.
Anupam Kher: Which has been your worst performance according to you?
Ranbir Kapoor: I think I was fair enough only in 'Rockstar' and 'Wake Up Sid', everywhere else I could have done better.
Anupam Kher: Are you temperamental as an actor? Are you moody?
Ranbir Kapoor: No, I am not temperamental. Yes, I am moody.
Anupam Kher: Which is the most difficult emotion to act according to you?
Ranbir Kapoor: Laughing!! I cannot laugh for any reason.
Anupam Kher: Which emotion do you love playing?
Ranbir Kapoor: Romance!! It brings joy.
Anupam Kher: What do you like about being an actor and what do you dislike?
Ranbir Kapoor: I like everything about being an actor, it's too early for me to say what I dislike. I am not very old in this industry and I love being a part of it.
Anupam Kher: Which actor do you think is doing his job well, from the contemporary actors?
Ranbir Kapoor: I think Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana and Imran Khan too; I liked him in some of his movies.
Anupam Kher ends the chat with this shy boy Ranbir Kapoor by giving him some tips on acting and by teaching him how to enact the emotion he finds most difficult that is 'laughing'.
Anupam Kher: Take a deep breath and while you breathe out make this sound HAH! And breathe in and breath out again making this sound 4 to 5 times. Like HAH HAH HAH!
Ranbir follows as instructed after which they both start launghing.
