Not
too
many
people
know
about
Ranbir
Kapoor's
secret
passion.
It
came
out
in
the
open
field
on
Tuesday
when
Bollywood
played
a
charity
benefit
match
against
a
professional
team
of
soccer
players
at
the
Abhijeet
Kadam
Memorial
Football
Cup
match
in
Pune.
Most
clearly,
Ranbir
Kapoor
was
the
man
of
the
match.
He
not
only
surprised
the
spectators
and
his
colleagues
who
were
there
at
the
event
with
his
expertise
at
the
game
but
also
came
home
to
Mumbai
triumphant,
having
scored
4
out
of
the
7
goals
scored
by
the
Bollywood
team,
leading
the
film
fraternity
into
a
clean
victory
of
the
field.
Not
only
that,
Ranbir
was
declared,
'Man
of
the
Match'
in
Pune.
Suniel
Shetty
who
was
present
at
the
match
just
couldn't
stop
raving
about
Ranbir,
"I
was
so
surprised!
I
thought
Ranbir
was
damn
a
good
actor.
But
I
didn't
know
the
boy
played
soccer
like
a
dream.
He's
just
so
good
on
the
field,
it's
scary." Sunil
confesses
he
is
a
cricket
fan
while
his
son
is
a
big
soccer
fan.
"I
was
there
for
the
charity
football
on
Tuesday
for
my
son's
sake
though
because
of
school
he
couldn't
attend."
And
why
does
Sunil
find
the
thought
of
Ranbir
playing
soccer
so
well
scary?
"Because
sports
is
finally
giving
Bollywood
a
run
for
its
money,"
observes
Sunil.
"Ranbir
plays
soccer
like
a
professional.
Now
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Preity
have
gone
into
cricket.
Let
the
IPL
matches
begin
and
the
cinema
theatres
will
wear
a
deserted
look.
First
the
board
exams
in
March
and
then
the
IPL
matches
in
April.
I
think
the
movie
business
is
in
big
trouble
this
year."
