Arjun Bijlani: Ranbir’s Real Classmate

On an episode of Star Plus’ Ravivaar With Star Parivaar, Ranbir revealed their long-standing friendship. He praised Arjun, saying, “People don’t know that we know each other from childhood. We were in the same school, the same class, and the same house for football. It feels so great to see everything that you are doing. The fact that you are a father, and you are such a great host and all the work that you do. It’s really heartwarming to see a colleague of mine, a friend of mine do so well.”
Karan Johar’s Praise for Ranbir Kapoor
In a recent post, filmmaker Karan Johar, who directed Ranbir in the 2016 film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, shared his admiration for the actor. He wrote, “I got to know and understand ‘the Ranbir process’ and deeply respect it. He never let his homework or his hard work be apparent to anyone. I got to know and love him as a person and appreciate his detachment from stardom or movie star trappings. His child-like portrayal of a broken-hearted lover went beyond the written word. Anushka and he were such a treat to direct. They have a mutual friendship and respect that transcended from personal to celluloid perfectly.”
Current Projects
On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor is currently filming Ramayana, where he plays the role of Lord Rama.
