Career Highlights and Achievements
Initial Work and Success (2007–2010)
2007Ranbir Kapoor played the protagonist in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2007 tragic romance Saawariya, marking his debut alongside Sonam Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. The film, produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment, depicted the story of a tramp deeply in love with a woman. While critics were disappointed, Kapoor's performance received praise for his "affable charm." Despite being a commercial failure, he won the Best Male Debut trophy at the Filmfare Awards. (Supporting Pic Required)
2008Despite the commercial setback of Saawariya, Yash Raj Films cast Kapoor in the romantic comedy Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), directed by Siddharth Anand. The film became Kapoor's first commercial success, portraying him as a womanizer romantically involved with Bipasha Basu, Minissha Lamba, and Deepika Padukone. His performance received mixed reviews, but The New York Times predicted his "puppy-dog sweetness" would serve him well as a Bollywood leading man. (Supporting Pic Required)
2009In 2009, Kapoor had three releases. In Wake Up Sid, directed by Ayan Mukerji, he portrayed Siddharth "Sid" Mehra, earning acclaim for his performance in this coming-of-age film. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, a slapstick comedy with Katrina Kaif, was the fourth highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2009. Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, directed by Shimit Amin, earned critical praise for Kapoor's "astonishingly sincere" performance despite a modest box office return. Kapoor won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor. (Supporting Pic Required)
2010Kapoor's first 2010 release was Prakash Jha's Raajneeti, a political drama inspired by the Mahabharata and The Godfather. His role as Samar Pratap earned critical acclaim, and the film became a major commercial success. Later in 2010, Kapoor starred alongside Priyanka Chopra in Anjaana Anjaani, a comedy-drama. While the film was a moderate financial success, critics were less enthusiastic about Kapoor's performance, noting struggles with a badly-defined role. (Supporting Pic Required)
Critical Praise (2011–2013)
2011In 2011, Ranbir Kapoor began with an item number in the children's film Chillar Party. He then took on the role of Janardhan "Jordan" Jakhar in Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar, a drama portraying the journey of an aspiring musician from humble beginnings to international stardom. Kapoor's preparation for the role included living with a Jat family, learning to play the guitar, and performing at a live concert in Mumbai as part of the film's promotional activities. Rockstar received mixed reviews, but Kapoor's performance earned him Best Actor and Best Actor (Critics) awards at the 57th Filmfare Awards, along with recognition at Screen and IIFA. The film was a commercial success, grossing Rs. 1.07 billion (US$13 million). (Supporting Pic Required)
2012Kapoor's first release in 2012 was the romantic comedy Barfi! directed by Anurag Basu. The film, set in the 1970s, featured Kapoor as its titular protagonist, a deaf and mute man who falls in love with a woman engaged to another and later with an autistic girl. Kapoor's performance drew inspiration from actors Roberto Benigni, Charlie Chaplin, and his grandfather. Barfi! earned over Rs. 1 billion (US$13 million) at the domestic box office, received critical acclaim, and was India's official entry for the 85th Academy Awards. Kapoor won consecutive Best Actor awards at Filmfare, Screen, and IIFA Award ceremonies. (Supporting Pic Required)
2013Kapoor reunited with director Ayan Mukerji in 2013 for the romantic comedy Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, co-starring Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin, and Aditya Roy Kapoor. He portrayed Kabir "Bunny" Thapar, a commitment-phobic photographer, and the film became one of the highest-grossing Indian films at that time, earning Rs. 2.95 billion (US$37 million). Kapoor's pairing with Padukone garnered attention due to their real-life history. His second release of 2013, the action-comedy Besharam, in which he played a petty thief, faced overwhelming negative reviews and commercial failure. Kapoor's performance was criticized, and the film was described as his "hall of shame." (Supporting Pic Required)
Commercial struggles and Sanju (2014–2018)
2015After a year-long absence, Ranbir Kapoor returned to the screen in 2015 with Roy, where he portrayed a mysterious thief in the romantic thriller. The film was criticized as "boring, exhausting, and pretentious." The series of financial setbacks continued with Kapoor's next release, Bombay Velvet, a crime drama directed by Anurag Kashyap. Despite Kapoor's portrayal of an ambitious boxer in the 1960s, the film faced meager box-office collections and mixed reviews from critics. Kapoor's performance received varied reviews, with critics noting occasional depth lacking in his portrayal. Bombay Velvet was eventually screened at international film festivals. (Supporting Pic Required)
2015Kapoor reunited with Deepika Padukone in Tamasha, a romantic drama directed by Imtiaz Ali. Kapoor played the role of Ved Sahni, a man torn between his desires for a career in the arts and a life of monotony as an engineer. The film faced commercial failure and mixed reviews, but Kapoor's performance was praised, with his assertive theatricality and subtle emotion well-suited to the role. (Supporting Pic Required)
2016In 2016, Kapoor took on the lead role of an aspiring musician in Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The romantic drama, co-starring Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai, explored the theme of unrequited love and became one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of the year. Critical reception was mixed, with Kapoor's portrayal receiving comments on balancing vulnerability and self-centeredness. Kapoor earned a Best Actor nomination at Filmfare for his performance. (Supporting Pic Required)
2017Kapoor, in collaboration with director Anurag Basu, formed the production company Picture Shuru Productions. Their first release was Jagga Jasoos (2017), a musical comedy-mystery film depicting a gifted teenager's search for his missing stepfather. The film faced difficulties during production, including delays, reshoots, and rumors of tension between Kapoor and co-star Katrina Kaif. Jagga Jasoos received mixed reviews, with Kapoor's dedication praised, but it did not perform well commercially, leading Kapoor to regret his foray into production. (Supporting Pic Required)
2018: SanjuKapoor portrayed actor Sanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani's biopic Sanju (2018). The film delved into Dutt's troubled relationship with his father, drug addiction, and arrest for illegal possession of firearms. Kapoor avoided a hagiographic narrative, extensively interacting with Dutt and physically transforming himself for each phase of Dutt's life. Sanju was a critical and commercial success, with Kapoor's portrayal earning praise for effectively subsuming his personality into that of the protagonist. Kapoor won another Best Actor award at Filmfare, and Sanju emerged as his biggest commercial success to that point, with earnings exceeding Rs. 5.79 billion (US$73 million). (Supporting Pic Required)
Break and comeback (2019–present)
2022After a four-year hiatus since Sanju, Ranbir Kapoor returned to the screen in 2022 with two big-budget films, Shamshera and Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva. The prolonged absence was attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, the death of his father, and the extensive production time of these films. In Shamshera, a period action film set in the 1800s, Kapoor played a dual role. The film received poor reviews, with criticism directed at Kapoor's script choices. It also faced commercial failure at the box office. In Brahmāstra, a fantasy film directed by Ayan Mukerji and the first part of a planned trilogy, Kapoor starred opposite Alia Bhatt. The film, which took five years to film and had a production budget of around Rs. 4 billion (US$50 million), received mixed reviews for Kapoor's performance and chemistry with Bhatt. Despite the critical reception, Brahmāstra became the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022, earning Rs. 4.31 billion (US$54 million). (Supporting Pic Required)
2023In 2023, Kapoor starred alongside Shraddha Kapoor in Luv Ranjan's romantic comedy Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. The film marked Kapoor's return to the romantic comedy genre and achieved moderate commercial success. (Supporting Pic Required)
Eager to break away from his established on-screen image, Kapoor accepted the role of a violent man with a troubled relationship with his father in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's action drama Animal. Kapoor described the part as "way out of my comfort zone," challenged by portraying a "blend of strength, vulnerability, and unpredictability." (Supporting Pic Required)
The film faced criticism for its content, accused of glorifying toxic masculinity and misogyny. Despite the controversy, Kapoor's performance was praised for breathing life into the complex character. Animal became Kapoor's highest-grossing release, crossing Rs. 8 billion (US$100 million) and ranking among Hindi cinema's biggest earners.

Ranbir Kapoor's Beyond Acting: Football, Philanthropy, and Business Ventures
"In addition to his successful acting career, Ranbir Kapoor is an avid football enthusiast deeply involved in philanthropy and various business ventures. As the vice-captain of the All Stars Football Club, a celebrity football team dedicated to raising funds for charitable causes, Kapoor actively contributes to these initiatives. Notably, in March 2013, he participated in a charity football game that aimed to generate funds for the Magic Funds Organisation, an NGO supporting underprivileged children.
In 2014, Kapoor expanded his involvement in football by acquiring ownership rights for the Mumbai-based team in the Indian Super League, named Mumbai City FC, alongside chartered accountant Bimal Parekh. Beyond sports, Kapoor diversified his interests by joining the digital music company Saavn in 2014, where he took on the role of a content and programming adviser.
In a notable move in 2016, Kapoor lent his support to the documentary series ""Girls with Goals,"" leveraging his influence to create awareness and raise funds for YUWA, an all-girls football team in the state of Jharkhand. Through these diverse endeavors, Kapoor showcases his commitment to making a positive impact both on and off the screen."
Ranbir Kapoor: Advocacy and Philanthropy for Social Causes
Ranbir Kapoor is not only a renowned actor but also a committed philanthropist actively involved in various social causes. As the goodwill ambassador of Shabana Azmi's Mijwan Welfare Society, an NGO dedicated to empowering women, Kapoor passionately advocates for the empowerment of the girl child.
In the realm of environmental causes, Kapoor's contributions are noteworthy. In 2011, he generously donated funds to the Community Water Initiative, a charitable organization owned by PepsiCo, highlighting his commitment to sustainable initiatives. Additionally, Kapoor lent his support to raising awareness about breast cancer in 2012 by appearing in a short film alongside other celebrities, directed by Zoya Akhtar.
Acting as the campaign ambassador for NDTV's Marks for Sports, Kapoor is actively involved in promoting fitness and health through this nationwide initiative in India. His commitment to charitable efforts is further exemplified by his participation in auctions, such as the 2013 eBay auction where the highest bidder gained the opportunity to interact with him, with proceeds donated to Save the Children for flood-affected households in Uttarakhand.
Kapoor's involvement extends to creating awareness about children's education through a commercial produced by the National Film Development Corporation of India in 2013. Notably, he engaged in eBay auctions in 2014 and 2015, with proceeds going towards the redevelopment of flood-ravaged states and the victims of the Nepal earthquake, respectively.
In 2015, Kapoor demonstrated his appreciation for Mumbai's Traffic Police by presenting 2,000 raincoats during heavy monsoons. Furthermore, his collaboration with Aamir Khan's Paani Foundation in 2018 showcased his commitment to addressing issues of drought in parts of Maharashtra, emphasizing his role as a socially responsible figure beyond the silver screen.
Relationships & More
Affairs/GirlfriendsAvantika Malik (late ’90s to early 2000s) - Ranbir Kapoor's early romantic history includes a relationship with former actress and mixologist Avantika Malik. Their exact timeline is unclear, but they dated before Kapoor's Bollywood debut. Kapoor had a significant crush on Malik during their teenage years, as they attended the same school, and she worked as a child actor on the series "Just Mohabbat." The two dated for five years, but their paths separated when Malik entered a relationship with Imran Khan, a close friend of Kapoor's.

Nandita Mahtani (early 2000s) - In the early 2000s, rumors swirled about Ranbir Kapoor's romantic involvement with fashion designer Nandita Mahtani, the former wife of his cousin Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, Sanjay Kapoor. The buzz surrounding Kapoor and Mahtani centered on their 10-year age gap, creating headlines during a time when Kapoor was in his 20s, and Mahtani was in her mid-30s. Kapoor openly admitted to being "infatuated" with Nandita during his formative years. However, their secretive relationship couldn't withstand the age difference and Kapoor's early career phase, leading to their separation within a few months.

Sonam Kapoor (2006-2007) - Ranbir Kapoor's romantic history includes his debut film co-star Sonam Kapoor. Before Sonam's 2018 wedding to businessman Anand Ahuja, her past romance with Ranbir garnered public attention. During the film's promotions, Ranbir expressed interest in Sonam, praising her beauty and goodness. However, their alleged relationship waned when their film Saawariya faced box office challenges. Subsequently, on the talk show "Koffee With Karan," Sonam took jibes at Ranbir, questioning his suitability as a boyfriend and labeling him a "mama’s boy," to which Ranbir responded by referring to Sonam as a "drama queen." This marked the end of their one-year speculative love saga.

Deepika Padukone (2007-2009) - Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor's intense romance during the filming of Siddharth Anand's 2008 movie, "Bachna Ae Haseeno," became one of Bollywood's iconic relationships without a happy ending. Deepika, deeply in love, even got a tattoo of Ranbir's initials on the nape of her neck. Despite public displays of affection during press meets and interviews, their two-year relationship ended in 2009, reportedly due to Ranbir's alleged infidelity with Katrina Kaif. Deepika later revealed her battle with depression during the same period. Fortunately, they reconciled and remained good friends. Despite their breakup, they continued to work together in films like Ayan Mukerji’s "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and Imtiaz Ali’s "Tamasha," with their on-screen chemistry continuing to be admired by fans.

Priyanka Chopra (2010) –  Rumors of a romantic relationship between Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Ranbir Kapoor surfaced during the filming of their 2010 movie "Anjaana Anjaani," attracting media attention for their on-screen chemistry. However, both actors denied the dating reports, dismissing them as mere "rumours." Despite their off-screen bonding, their relationship was brief, and they eventually went their separate ways. Priyanka later married American singer Nick Jonas in 2018, and in 2022, the couple welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy.

Katrina Kaif (2010-2016) - The next notable figure in Ranbir Kapoor's dating history is Katrina Kaif. Their romantic journey, spanning from 2010 to 2016, kept fans on a rollercoaster ride. Born on the sets of "Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani" in 2009, their secret romance, filled with vacations and cohabitation, created buzz in gossip columns for six years, even considering marriage. Reflecting on their journey, Kaif expressed a desire to assert herself in relationships, stating, "Were it selfless love, then I wouldn’t feel the need to assert myself as much in the relationship. I don’t want to be tolerant. I don’t want to accept it; I want to fight. I want to get what I think I deserve."

Angela Jonsson (2011) - Chennai-based model Angela Jonsson, recognized as the calendar girl of Kingfisher, grabbed headlines in 2011 when seen with Ranbir Kapoor. Jonsson openly acknowledged their dating status, stating, "Yes, Ranbir and I have dated." Despite addressing the rumors causing stress to her family and emphasizing that her modeling success came from hard work, not associations, Ranbir Kapoor never confirmed their relationship.

Nargis Fakhri (2011) - Adding to his history of dating co-stars, Ranbir Kapoor was rumored to be romantically involved with his "Rockstar" co-star Nargis Fakhri in 2011. Fueled by their on-screen chemistry, speculation about their alleged romance circulated. However, the real-life connection couldn't withstand scrutiny and eventually faded. Reports suggested that Fakhri played a role in Kapoor's breakup with Katrina Kaif. Addressing the challenges of dealing with persistent relationship rumors in the film industry, she shared with a leading daily, "I have been in love with all the actors I have worked with in Bollywood."

Ameesha Patel (2016) - Following the Bollywood breakup with Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor sought comfort in the company of actress Amisha Patel in 2016. Their gatherings became the talk of the town, especially when Patel was the sole non-family member at Ranbir’s uncle, veteran actor Randhir Kapoor’s, private 70th birthday bash. However, things took a turn when the "Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar" actor was later spotted executing ninja moves at a party, trying to avoid Patel's attempts to strike up a conversation. Their rumored romance came to an abrupt end that night when he mysteriously exited the party, leaving everyone wondering about the sudden conclusion to their speculated chapter of love.

Mahira Khan (2017-2018) - In an unexpected twist, rumors swirled about a romantic involvement between Ranbir Kapoor and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan. The two were photographed sharing moments in New York in 2018, and their sweet getaway stirred controversy when pictures surfaced of Khan smoking alongside Kapoor. The backlash was swift, critiquing her outfit choices and public smoking. Despite the storm, the duo made a public appearance at the Global Prize ceremony, leaving fans guessing about the nature of their connection. However, neither ever confirmed the status of their relationship in public.

Alia Bhatt (2018 – Present) - The final chapter in Ranbir Kapoor's whirlwind dating history is his wife, Alia Bhatt. Heralded as the latest 'it' couple of Bollywood, they have been captivating audiences with their undeniable chemistry since 2018. From Bhatt's childhood crush on Kapoor, revealed on Koffee With Karan season 4 in 2014, to their official public debut as a couple at Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s wedding reception in 2018, their journey has been nothing short of cosmic.

Unveiling the lesser-known facets of Ranbir Kapoor’s life




Born into a family of renowned actors, Ranbir Kapoor faced the constant scrutiny of the media from an early age. Despite initial setbacks with the failure of his debut film, Saawariya, Kapoor quickly emerged as a rising star in the film industry. According to Hindustan Times, he was considered a “star kid” with high expectations from everyone.

Despite Saawariya’s underwhelming performance, Kapoor’s career took a meteoric rise with compelling performances in subsequent films like Raajneeti, Rockstar, and Barfi!, as reported by IANS. Apoorva Mehta, COO of Dharma Productions, highlighted Kapoor’s remarkable impact on the film business, stating that in just 10 films, he achieved a significant leap in commercial success.

In 2013, The Economic Times recognized Kapoor as “the most bankable actor of his generation.” However, despite the success of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Kapoor faced a series of underwhelming box office performances. Trade journalists criticized his film choices, pointing out that his inclination towards experimental projects had a negative impact on his commercial appeal.

This phase prompted discussions about Kapoor’s balance between stardom and experimentation, showcasing the challenges and triumphs in his cinematic journey.


Ranbir Kapoor stands as one of the most popular and high-profile celebrities nationally. Forbes, in both 2012 and 2013, recognized his prominence by featuring him among the top twenty in India’s Celebrity 100. This list evaluates the income and popularity of the country’s celebrities, showcasing Kapoor’s dual impact.

For consecutive years, he secured the 11th position with estimated annual earnings of Rs. 93.25 crore (US$12 million) and Rs. 85 crore (US$11 million), solidifying his status as one of the highest-paid actors in the country. Rediff.com’s annual listing of “Bollywood’s Best Actors” consistently highlighted Kapoor’s influence—he secured the second position in 2009, claimed the top spot in 2011, held the third position in 2012, and maintained the sixth position in 2015. This consistent recognition underscores Kapoor’s enduring presence and success in the dynamic realm of Indian cinema.


Renowned for his striking looks, Ranbir Kapoor has consistently held a place among the most attractive Indian celebrities, earning widespread recognition from the media. The Times of India acknowledged his allure by featuring him in the ‘Most Desirable Man’ list every year from 2010 to 2015, consistently securing a position in the top ten.

His magnetic appeal was further affirmed when People magazine named him the “Sexiest Man Alive” in India in 2009. Filmfare, in 2013, crowned him the “Most Stylish Young Actor” through a popular poll. The Limca Book of Records recognized Kapoor in the same year with the prestigious “People of the Year” award. Additionally, he claimed the title of “Sexiest Asian Man” in 2010, a distinction he maintained from 2011 to 2014.

Beyond his cinematic prowess, Kapoor extends his influence as a celebrity endorser for several renowned brands and services, including Pepsi, Panasonic, Renault India, Lenovo, and the esteemed Spanish football club FC Barcelona. This multifaceted recognition solidifies Kapoor’s status not only as a talented actor but also as a style icon and heartthrob in the entertainment industry.
