Ranbir Kapoor: Embracing Nepotism and Paving His Own Path in Film

Mumbai, Oct 9 (PTI) Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor, a self-proclaimed "product of nepotism," acknowledged the advantages of being born into a filmy lineage but emphasized that such lineage doesn't ensure success. At the "Celebrate Cinema 2025" festival at filmmaker Subhash Ghai's Whistling Woods, Ranbir explained that despite belonging to the illustrious Kapoor family, he needed to cultivate his own distinct approach and showcase his talent to make a mark in the industry. He candidly remarked, "I'm a product of nepotism and got it easy, but I realized that without an individualistic approach and self-made name, I wouldn't triumph in films." The actor, son of Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, highlighted that while the Kapoor family enjoys celebrated successes, there are failures too, which offer significant learning opportunities.
