He vouches for friendly competition with his colleagues, but
Ranbir Kapoor confesses his "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" co-star Deepika
Padukone is the only one in the industry who intimidates him.
Ayan Mukerji-directed "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani"
has brought the real life ex-couple together on the screen after five years -
their first and the last movie together was 2008 movie "Bachna Ae
Haseeno".
"I always expected from Deepika to reach very high
levels, but I had no idea that she will become such a fine actress so soon. She
is the first actress in front of whom I am a bit intimidated," told
Ranbir, who himself has wowed people with variety in roles he played in movies
"Wake Up Sid", "Raajneeti", "Rockstar" and
"Barfi!".
Talking about her growth in the industry, Ranbir told,
"I felt like she was not doing what I expected her to do. That constant
surprise was a good feeling. I know her so well. I know her advantages as well
as disadvantages. She has turned her disadvantages into advantages. So, I am
very happy for her."
Most celebrities are hounded by rumors and Ranbir accepts it
as part of an actor's life.
"I can understand there is a demand for this. People
want to know about their favourite actors and actresses - What they do? Who
they can marry or not? But when it comes to you, you feel bad. But you have to
focus on your work. Because when on Friday, your film releases, everyone
forgets everything. It is part and parcel of the journey. You have to take it
with a pinch of salt," told the 30-year-old.
Do you like to read about your contemporaries?
"We are curious... but we are all friends. We don't sit
and bitch or gossip," he told and explained that "cold war"
don't exist.
"I don't think there is any cold war. I am fond of all
the actors of my generation - be it Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor, Imran Khan,
Varun Dhawan - all of us are busy with our work, we don't really meet much. But
we try and catch up at award functions and parties," he told.
He admits there is competition, but a friendly one.
"There is a friendly, healthy competitive vibe going
on. No one wants the other person to not do well. We get happy and jealous when
we see a good performance, but we all congratulate each other and encourage
each other. I guess it is too early in our careers to have this
competition," Ranbir told.
