The viral image, originally shared by a fan on social media and later surfacing on Reddit, featured Ranbir in a coordinated set and a cap, sporting a salt-and-pepper beard. This triggered numerous reactions online. One person remarked that Ranbir appeared to have aged quickly post-Sanju, and another compared him to Shahid Kapoor, suggesting Shahid looked younger due to healthier lifestyle choices. A different comment highlighted that Ranbir's face seemed to have lost its charm, while another referred to him affectionately as Bunny, expressing surprise at his aged look. Some fans voiced concern, questioning if the actor was okay, with one stating that he looked tired. However, many defended Ranbir, reminding everyone that he is now 41 years old and naturally wouldn’t look the same as before.
