edit]Personal life
Born to popular actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, Kapoor is the brother of Riddhima Kapoor. He is the great grandson of Prithviraj Kapoor, and the grandson of actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor. His uncles are Randhir Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor, and his cousins include Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and Nikhil Nanda.
Kapoor is currently dating model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone, his co-star in Bachna Ae Haseeno.[1]
[edit]Career
Kapoor made his debut in November 2007 with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya opposite newcomer Sonam Kapoor. The film failed to do well at the box office,[2] though he received many positive reviews for his portrayal of the lovesick singer, Ranbir Raj. Critic, Taran Adarsh commented, "Ranbir Kapoor is supremely talented, no two opinions on that. Yes, he looks handsome, but what you carry home is the sincerity in his performance. If that's the [high] level of performance in his debut film, this lad will only make the Kapoor clan proud in years to come. It's a 10 on 10 for this debutante [sic]." [3]
Kapoor was recently seen in Siddharth Anand's Bachna Ae Haseeno, which released on August 15, 2008. The film did reasonably well, therefore acquiring a semi-hit status at the box office. As of September 2008, he is filming for Rajkumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani opposite Katrina Kaif.[4] Kapoor's other forthcoming projects include Wake up Sid, where he will be seen opposite Konkona Sen Sharma. The film is directed by Ayaan Mukherjee & produced by Karan Johar.
