Another
scion
of
the
illustrious
Kapoor
clan
is
all
set
to
debut
in
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Saawariya.
Even
before
the
film's
release,
Ranbir
Kapoor,
son
of
Rishi
and
Neetu
Kapoor,
has
won
over
a
huge
female
fan
following
with
his
innocent
looks
and
sweet
smile.
The
industry
has
high
expectations
of
him
given
his
background.
What
needs
to
be
seen
is
whether
this
star
son
would
turn
out
to
be
as
impressive
with
his
acting
skills
as
well.
The
youngster
is
quite
confident
he
would.
Are
you
nervous
about
your
Bollywood
debut
in
Saawariya?
Honestly,
I
am
not
a
bit
nervous.
I
was
anxious
when
the
promos
of
the
film
started
showing
on
television.
I
received
a
range
of
reactions
from
people
I
know
and
that
made
me
both
nervous
and
excited
(laughs).
I
am
happy
that
I
am
getting
so
much
attention
in
my
very
first
film.
Are
you
happy
that
you
are
being
launched
in
Saawariya?
Absolutely,
we
all
have
worked
very
hard
for
this
film.
When
we
completed
it,
I
watched
it
as
one
in
the
audience.
Not
only
did
I
like
the
movie
but
I
also
liked
the
character
I
have
portrayed.
Right
from
the
time
the
film
went
on
the
floors,
I
tried
to
give
my
best
in
every
shot.
I
knew
that
bagging
a
film
like
Saawariya
and
working
with
a
director
like
Sanjay
sir
would
have
been
difficult
even
if
I
had
spent
10
years
in
this
industry
now.
I
hope
I
get
to
work
with
him
again.
You
have
assisted
Sanjay
in
film-making
and
now
you
have
worked
as
an
actor
with
him.
What
was
the
difference
between
the
two
experiences?
Nothing
much.
I
learned
a
lot
from
both
the
experiences.
Not
only
was
Sanjay
sir
affectionate
towards
Sonam
and
me,
he
also
taught
us
a
lot
about
cinema.
Working
with
such
a
reputed
director
was
a
dream
come
true.
I
had
never
thought
he
would
launch
us
in
such
a
grand
way.
I
am
grateful
to
him.
I
hope
he
loves
me
the
same
way
in
the
future
too.
Does
the
character
you
play
in
this
film
resemble
you
in
any
way?
Oh
yes,
the
role
I
play
is
much
like
the
real
me.
My
character
has
been
named
Ranvir
Raj,
in
dedication
to
my
grandfather
Raj
Kapoor.
I
am
grateful
to
Sanjay
sir
for
the
way
he
has
paid
a
tribute
to
my
grandfather
and
my
family
through
this
film.
I
love
my
character
in
the
film,
who
is
inspired
by
the
legendary
Charlie
Chaplin
and
the
role
my
grandfather
Raj
Kapoor
played
in
Shree
420.
Your
parents
have
been
great
actors.
What
tips
did
you
get
from
them
as
you
step
into
Bollywood?
I
haven't
received
any
special
tips
from
them
for
Saawariya.
They
have
never
made
me
sit
down
and
take
notes
from
them.
They
have
been
teaching
me
a
lot
gradually
right
from
my
childhood.
I
have
always
taken
my
own
decisions
but
they
have
been
by
my
side
to
encourage
and
guide
me.
They
have
never
stopped
me
from
doing
anything,
instead
they
have
just
made
me
foresee
the
benefits
and
the
drawbacks
of
my
decisions.
I
can
recall
how
nervous
I
was
for
the
shoot
of
my
first
song
"Masha
Allah".
I
just
didn't
know
what
to
do
so
I
sent
across
an
sms
to
my
father
telling
him
about
my
state.
He
replied
via
an
sms
that
I
shouldn't
be
foolish.
He
reminded
me
that
I
belong
to
the
Kapoor
family,
he
told
me
that
instead
of
just
acting
I
should
sing
along
and
emote
with
all
my
heart.
His
words
gave
me
a
lot
of
strength.
When
did
you
decide
that
you
wanted
to
become
an
actor?
I
didn't
take
that
decision
in
a
day
or
two.
I
am
from
a
family
where
acting
runs
in
the
genes.
I
was
in
America
when
I
watched
Sanjay
sir's
Devdas.
I
had
then
decided
that
I
would
debut
only
with
him.
I
was
already
getting
many
acting
offers
then
but
not
from
Sanjay
sir.
I
was
wondering
whether
he
knows
about
me
at
all.
So
I
decided
to
take
the
first
step
and
go
and
meet
him,
assist
him
in
film-making
and
then
work
in
his
film
as
an
actor.
Fortunately,
this
dream
of
mine
has
come
true.
How
was
the
experience
of
working
with
Sonam?
I
am
very
happy
that
I
have
worked
with
her
in
my
very
first
film.
We
knew
each
other
since
childhood.
Sonam
is
very
intelligent
and
straightforward,
she
talks
from
her
heart.
If
she
doesn't
approve
of
something
she
would
go
ahead
and
speak
out.
Our
friendship
has
grown
stronger
during
the
shooting
of
this
film
since
as
newcomers
both
of
us
were
going
through
the
same
emotions.
We
have
shared
a
lot
of
feelings.
Are
you
under
any
kind
of
pressure
to
perform
since
you
are
from
the
illustrious
Kapoor
clan?
No,
not
at
all.
At
this
point
of
time,
I
don't
want
to
think
that
people
would
compare
me
with
other
members
of
my
family
who
have
been
or
are
into
acting.
I
don't
want
to
think
whether
I
would
stand
up
to
their
expectations
or
not.
I
am
responsible
for
what
I
am
doing.
I
want
to
work
very
hard
so
that
people
don't
write
me
off
as
worthless.
I
don't
want
to
let
anybody
down.
Did
you
join
this
profession
because
you
are
from
the
Kapoor
family
or
do
you
genuinely
love
acting?
I
wouldn't
say
that
I
was
mentally
prepared
to
play
a
hero
on
reel.
I
just
wanted
to
be
part
of
cinema,
I
didn't
know
whether
as
an
actor,
or
director
or
producer
or
as
someone
else.
At
the
same
time,
it
is
true
that
I
am
where
I
am
because
of
my
parents
and
grandfather.
As
of
now,
I
want
to
add
to
their
reputation.
Now
that
you
have
worked
with
Sanjay
in
a
such
a
big
production,
what
are
your
expectations
from
yourself
and
the
industry?
Oh,
it's
scary
when
I
think
about
this.
Had
my
third
or
fourth
film
been
with
Sanjay
sir,
things
would
have
been
different.
After
working
with
him,
I
feel
like
I
have
been
fed
with
a
golden
spoon.
It
would
be
a
big
achievement
for
me
if
I
live
up
to
his
expectations.
Right
now,
I
want
to
work
with
many
directors.
I
am
just
praying
that
my
journey
is
steady.
You
have
assisted
Sanjay
in
film-making.
Did
you
do
something
similar
as
his
hero
as
well?
Saawariya
is
more
than
just
a
film
for
me.
I
was
assisting
him
even
as
a
hero.
I
took
interest
in
everything
from
direction
to
costume
selection.
This
was
my
golden
chance
to
learn
and
I
enjoyed
every
moment
being
part
of
the
film.
How's
Sanjay
as
a
director?
He
is
not
only
an
excellent
director
but
also
a
good
human
being.
He
is
a
rare
gem
you
won't
find
everywhere.
Many
people
say
he
is
very
lucky
but
the
truth
is
he
has
sweated
out
a
lot
to
achieve
the
top
place
in
the
industry.
In
the
promos
of
Saawariya,
you
are
spotted
in
a
cap
and
with
a
guitar
in
hand,
just
like
your
father.
Whose
idea
was
this?
Every
bit
of
the
movie
is
Sanjay
sir's
concept
and
idea.
If
I
am
resembling
my
father
in
any
scene
then
that's
very
good.
We
have
received
very
good
response
to
our
first
promo
though
I
have
not
been
intentionally
made
to
look
like
my
father.
I
have
just
acted
out
what
the
character
demanded.
The
RK
banner
is
going
to
be
revived
soon.
Would
you
like
to
work
under
it?
Of
course,
that
would
be
my
first
priority.
I
am
going
to
bring
back
the
golden
days
of
the
RK
banner.
We
are
going
to
start
work
in
this
direction
very
soon.
I
can't
reveal
any
more
now
but
I
promise
you
will
get
to
watch
a
film
under
the
RK
banner
in
the
coming
two
years.
You
are
a
big
competition
to
other
newcomers
in
the
industry.
What's
your
take
on
that?
Come
on,
it's
not
like
that.
Most
of
the
newcomers
in
the
industry
are
my
childhood
friends.
They
are
all
working
hard
the
way
I
am,
so
my
best
wishes
to
all
of
them.
Neil,
Harman,
Sikandar,
Imaad
and
Imran
are
all
like
my
brothers.
I
want
them
to
wish
me
well
the
way
I
wish
them
well.
