About
Ranbir Kapoor turned method-acting precision and genre-spanning range into Bollywood's most decorated actor of his generation. Born in 1982 to actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, grandson of director Raj Kapoor, he debuted in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya (2007) and rose to prominence with Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, and Raajneeti (all 2009–2010). His dual Filmfare wins for Rockstar (2011) and Barfi! (2012) cemented his range; later triumphs included Sanju (2018) and Animal (2023), his highest-grossing film. A Libra born September 1982, he balances art with entrepreneurship: co-owner of Mumbai City FC and married to actress Alia Bhatt.

Biography
Ranbir Kapoor is an Indian actor and screenwriter whose decade-spanning career spans tragedy, romance, and action across Hindi-language cinema. Born 28 September 1982 to Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh—both actors—and grandson of director Raj Kapoor, he trained in filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts and method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute before assisting Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Black (2005). His acting debut came with Bhansali's Saawariya (2007), a critical and commercial failure, but he ascended rapidly through the coming-of-age Wake Up Sid, the romantic comedy Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (both 2009), and the political drama Raajneeti (2010).
Kapoor's breakout performances—as a troubled musician in Rockstar (2011) and a deaf-and-mute man in Barfi! (2012)—earned him consecutive Filmfare Awards for Best Actor. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) solidified his status as a leading man, though a string of underperforming releases followed, with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) and Sanju (2018) as exceptions. His portrayal of Sanjay Dutt in Sanju won him another Filmfare Award. After a hiatus, he returned with the fantasy film Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022) and the action drama Animal (2023), which became his highest-grossing release and earned him a fourth Best Actor Filmfare. He has appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list and was included in Time's 100 most influential people in 2026. Beyond acting, Kapoor co-owns the Indian Super League football team Mumbai City FC and supports various charities. He is married to actress Alia Bhatt and has a daughter, Raha. As a Libra, his birth date reflects the scales of balance he strikes between intimate character work and large-scale commercial cinema.
