Star kids are often targeted with the tag of 'nepotism'. However, many artistes have gone way ahead than just being a son or daughter of a film personality and carved their own journey. Today we will talk about an actor, a star's son, the grandson of a superstar, and a great-grandson of an acting legend.
This actor hails from the biggest film family in Bollywood, and generations have kept the legacy of this family intact. As this actor turned 42, we will discuss his journey from sweeping the studio floors and getting beaten by a director, to competing with the biggest superstars of Bollywood.
The actor who used to sweep floors before becoming a star is...
Ranbir Kapoor, son of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, turned 42, and he's currently busy enjoying his special day with the family. Ranbir started his acting journey with Sanjay Leela Bhansali (SLB), leading his romantic drama Saawariyaa (2007). The film was an epic disaster, but it benefited Ranbir. The new-gen Kapoor became a heartthrob to many young girls, and he worked hard to build his career.
Before becoming an actor, Ranbir worked as an assistant director (AD) with SLB. Ranbir assisted Bhansali on Black (2005). In an interview, Ranbir recalled his experience of being an AD to Bhansali, and said, "I was getting beaten up, abused, doing everything from cleaning the floor to fixing the lights from 7 am. to 4 am, but I was learning every day."
Ranbir Kapoor's filmography
Ranbir went on to give several hits and blockbusters including Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kaahani, Rajneeti, Rockstar, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Barfi! and Sanju which established him as one of the highest-paid stars in Bollywood.
