RANBIR WAS BORN TO ACT

He was always an entertainer… There was always so much drama when he was around. As a child, he loved to perform. Whether at birthday parties or competitions, he would dance at the drop of a hat. Even without an audience, he was a riot. We shared the same room for several years before I left to attend university in London, and even though we were very close, being just a few years apart, we fought like crazy. I’m talking physical WWE-style fights, where we aped the superstars of the league and actually bashed each other up! My daughter Samara, in fact, enjoys watching us fight (verbally now, of course!) even today. She loves listening to our childhood stories and all the havoc we created as kids. One of our big targets back then was our nani, who lived with us when she was alive—we played a lot of pranks on her, one of the reasons being she was very sporting about it.

OUR GRANDFATHER [RAJ KAPOOR] WAS A BIG INFLUENCE ON HIM

My favourite childhood memories are of us at our Chembur home. Come Friday, we would pack our bags and head straight to our grandparents’ home after school with our friends and cousins in tow. Saturday we’d head to Big Splash, the water park in Vashi, followed by lunch at an Udipi joint nearby. Ranbir watched every movie under the RK banner—he was definitely inspired by our granddad to become an actor. And even though our grandad passed away fairly early, we continued to spend every weekend with our dadi [Krishna Kapoor, who passed away recently].
