Ranbir Kapoor on learning from Kapoor family's failures

Ranbir was born and raised in a family of actors and exceptional filmmakers. He recalled observing his relatives experience both success and failure, and opined, “I have realized this very early on because I have grown up in a film family and I have seen so many successful people. But at the same time, I have seen so many failures, too. My family has generations of successful actors and those who have failed. I know why they failed. I studied them. I was noticing it from a very young age.” 

The actor mentioned how Rishi was rude towards the fans who approached him for autographs and pictures, by saying, “No, I am not interested in doing that!” The Ramayana actor recalled observing the fan's disappointment and decided he can't “say no to anybody.” Ranbir further said, “I would see the fan’s face and them looking at my father with so much of disdain and disappointment. If somebody wants a picture with me or an autograph, I’m more than happy to oblige.”
