Ranbir Kapoor: “Right now it’s like I’m being linked left, right and centre. I open the paper and I’m actually dreading it sometimes. Jesus Christ, you know? I’m 28 years old, I work hard, I’m fairly successful at my job and I’m attracted to women.”
Ranbir Kapoor’s on the cover of GQ this month, he talks girls, cars, money and unbridled ambition! In this interview, Kapoor comes across as a different man: still young and bright, but with a noticeably darker edge. Hmmmm. (I bet Deepika Padukone could have told you that! Lol.)
On Deepika Padukone…
“You know, with Deepika it was just kind of strange, because after she gave certain interviews post our break-up or, you know, that episode on Koffee With Karan, it got really awkward. Deepika must be having some angst against me, which she probably took out through this interview. But I still respect her, I still like her, I still feel she’s a really nice girl. Sonam, I really have nothing to say about because she was just my co-star and I think she said a few things which she really didn’t need to.”
On Relationships and Physical Compatibility…
“I don’t believe in casual relationships. I don’t believe in one-night stands. But I’m not really looking to date someone also, because actors’ lives are so lonely. You always need someone who’s there and you could talk to and share your day with, good or bad. I’ve realized it is really hard for an actor to date an actress. There is so much insecurity. You could be dating an actor, and then be linked to another actor because you’re working on a movie with them. There is also a sense of competition about what the other actor is doing if you are dating.”
On Ambition…
“Today I have the power to actually green-light a project which everyone has said no to. I don’t feel pressurized because I’m a bit arrogant where my career and talent are concerned, because I know I’m going to be the best there is.”
