Ranbir Kapoor is one of the few actors who have managed to make a safe distance from social media, in times when most of the celebrities are using it as a tool to promote not only their films but also to let their fans feel closer to them. Even though his mother Neetu Kapoor and now to-be wife Alia Bhatt are frequent on social media, particularly Instagram, Ranbir is far from making his debut. However, despite keeping a low profile which is far from social media, there have been quite a few incidences wherein Ranbir Kapoor has spoken his heart out and ended up giving some controversial statements. The Kapoor lad who is set to tie the knot with his ladylove Alia, next week, once revealed he lost his virginity during his teenage days.

He further said that he tried to quit it for months but was back at rolling cigarettes, reportedly.

Ranbir Kapoor on his parents “troubled marriage”: Back in the year 2011 when Ranbir Kapoor was barely a few films old, the actor made headlines with his comments over his parents’ (Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor) marriage. In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, the actor reportedly said, “Sometimes the fights would get really bad. I would be sitting on the steps, my head between my knees, till five or six in the morning, waiting for them to stop. My parents had a very troubled marriage for a long time, and I was caught in the middle because I was there. Mom tried to make sure it didn’t affect us. She did that by being open about it, which was good. But let’s just say I didn’t grow up with any rose-tinted illusions about love. I learned the hard way how complicated a relationship between a man and woman could be."
When Ranbir Kapoor said his uncle Randhir had dementia: Very recently, after the release of late actor Rishi Kapoor’s last film ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’, Ranbir made headlines when he reportedly said that his uncle Randhir Kapoor was detected with early dementia. While talking to a news channel, Ranbir had said that Randhir wanted to call up Rishi after watching ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’, forgetting that he passed away to years ago. However, it was outrightly denied by Randhir himself who said he I perfectly fine. “Aisa kuch nahi hua. Not at all. I am perfectly fine. I just had COVID sometime ago (in April 2021). Ranbir ki marzi; he is entitled to say what he wants. I never said that. I am alright,” Randhir told ETimes.
