EARLY LIFE
Following his schooling at Bombay Scottish School, Ranbir went to junior college at the HR College of Commerce and Economics. He then headed to New York to studying filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts. Citing the experience as fruitless, Ranbir then took up acting classes at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute. He soon returned to Mumbai to pursue an acting career.
PERSONAL LIFE
Ranbir`s parents Rishi and Neetu Kapoor are both actors, while his late grandfather was the legendary actor, producer and director Raj Kapoor. Kapoor`s late great grandfather is Prithviraj Kapoor, a pioneer of Indian cinema and theatre. His cousins Karisma and Kareena Kapoor, too, are actresses but his elder sister Riddhima Kapoor prefers to lead a non-filmy life, and works as an interior and fashion designer.
The actor`s personal life has been much talked-about ever since he shot to fame. In 2008, during the filming of Bachna Ae Haseeno, Ranbir got romantically involved with co-star Deepika Padukone.
