Ranbir Kapoor nervous to perform with Neetu Kapoor on stage

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who will be performing for the first time with his mother Neetu Kapoor on stage for an awards show, says she is nervous and so is he. "She (Neetu Kapoor) is very nervous... she has not performed for a while. Actually, even I am nervous and excited to perform with her," Ranbir told reporters at the press conference of Colors Screen Awards.

"I coaxed my mother to do a nice jig on stage. We will be performing on songs picturised on my family members. I am sure she will steal the limelight," the actor said. Ranbir will perform on his mother's popular song 'Parda Hai Parda' from the film Amar Akbar Anthony. The 30-year-old actor also expressed the desire to shake a leg with all his family members including cousin Kareena Kapoor.

"I tried to get Kareena to perform for the awards this time but she was not available. She is a very talented actress," Ranbir said. "I won't be able to do a romantic song with her as we are cousins. So I guess, we will do a 'Rakhsha Bandhan' song," he said. Ranbir's film Barfi! has been nominated in 17 categories at the Color Screen Awards including best film, best director, best actor and actress, best screenplay, best playback singer.

"When we were working on Barfi! no one had such confidence in the film. The result has been a pleasant surprise. Nominations also do matter to me... I am happy with it. But it is the support of the audience that matters," he said.
