In the glitzy realm of Bollywood, where public perception often guides the careers of its stars, actor Vivek Oberoi has recently highlighted a colleague who stands out for his humility and genuine demeanor. This refreshingly candid appraisal was centered on none other than ‘Animal’ star, Ranbir Kapoor.
Vivek Oberoi, known for his diverse roles and upcoming series ‘Indian Police Force’, spoke warmly of Ranbir Kapoor’s unassuming personality and secure nature as an actor. Oberoi, no stranger to the spotlight, has garnered attention not only for his onscreen performances but also for his open-hearted appreciation of his peers.
Reflecting on his encounter with Ranbir at the ‘Animal’ success bash, Oberoi shared his admiration of Kapoor’s versatility and brilliance. “I went and watched Ranbir pull off a performance like that, and I was floored,” he remarked. “He’s the same immensely talented individual who took on distinctive roles in ‘Brahmastra’ and numerous other films. He’s unbelievably brilliant.”
What struck Oberoi most, he recounted, was how Ranbir engaged with people at the event. “He doesn’t wait for people to approach him; it’s quite the opposite. He approached me, referred to me respectfully as ‘sir’, and then embraced me. It really shows his secure nature and how grounded he is,” Oberoi continued. He fondly recollected how Kapoor’s humility shone through his actions, describing how he comfortably sits on the ground, unconcerned about public opinion, and remains fully dedicated to his craft.
These statements come ahead of the highly anticipated release of ‘Indian Police Force’, a new blockbuster action series by director-producer Rohit Shetty. The show is a part of Shetty’s well-known ‘cop-verse’ and pays tribute to the valor and sacrifices of Indian police officers. Shetty expressed pride in his cast and crew for their hard work and commitment in bringing the action-packed series to life. The series also marks Shetty’s first foray into digital content with Prime Video and is set to premiere exclusively on January 19, 2024, starring an ensemble cast including Siddharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Vivek Oberoi, Shweta Tiwari, and others.
Vivek Oberoi’s words underscore a widespread admiration for Ranbir Kapoor within the industry. Beyond his tangible successes, Kapoor’s nonchalant confidence and careless attitude toward fame exhibit an image of an artist more focused on his work than the trappings of his celebrity status.
In an ever-evolving film industry, where talent is often overshadowed by glamour, Ranbir Kapoor’s demeanor provides a unique contrast. It is this endearing quality of being relatable and modest despite the stardom that appears to resonate deeply with his peers, including Oberoi, who shares a similar outlook. It is a testament to their shared philosophy that mastery of one’s craft and a secure self-image trump the external validation often sought in the world of cinema.
Ranbir’s authenticity does more than merely shine in the parts he plays; it engages and fosters a sense of personable humanity, making him a cherished figure among colleagues and fans alike. Such an attitude may well cement his legacy not just as a gifted actor but as an endearing personality in Bollywood’s pantheon of legends, continually reassuring that amid the trappings of fame, one can still maintain a sincere touch of humility.
