Ranbir Kapoor - TBIP Tete-a-Tete - Full Interview

The TBIP Tête-à-Tête is a series of in-depth and intimate interviews with film personalities who are critical to this era of filmmaking. It is an attempt to understand their body of work. And their minds. Because who they are intrigues us just as much as what they do. Because what they do is because of who they are. In certain cases, despite who they are. Because integral to the love of cinema is the love of cinema's idols- the chosen few whose mystique remains intact despite the tabloids' obsession with their lives.
As soon as Ranbir Kapoor walks into the room, you know is a star. Not because he is saleable. Not because he is from the Hindi film industry's 'first family'. Not because he is likely to be mobbed on the streets. Not because he is all over the gossip magazines. Not even because he keeps his dark glasses on.
You can tell Ranbir Kapoor is a star because he has that certain je ne sais quoi; that elusive glimmer we know oh-so well and yet can hardly sum up. But that is not all that makes him intriguing. Ranbir is a fourth-generation legatee of a family that has etched a place for itself in every era of the last 100 years of Indian cinema. The Kapoors are synonymous with style, panache, revelry, songs, success, glamour, brilliance and an unshakeable allegiance to the movies. Ranbir, named after his grandfather, is taking his own road to being a Kapoor. The Kapoor legacy for Ranbir is like the unseen backstory of a character that an actor uses merely as a reference in his process. The real journey of the character begins from the first frame of the film.
Ranbir is also the quintessential representative of his generation. This month he turns 30. Already an accomplished actor, he has experimented with different genres. But he is not one to rest on his laurels, let alone his family's. Infact he is not one to rest at all. He is in a hurry to keep moving and find out what happens next. He is not interested in mere laurels either. What concerns him most is his journey-- the question of who he is and who else he can be.
The one thing that sticks out about him is his single-minded curiosity-- a curiosity that borders on insatiable hunger. He is not satisfied. He is not smug. And yet, the surface is placid. He makes it all look effortless. Real cool. He says he hasn't found his identifiable star trait yet. That is precisely what makes him stand apart. He is enviably comfortable in his own skin. And as you watch him lie back and take on the world, never losing sight of what is real and what is not, you know a new kind of star is born.

Haven't seen a more intelligent Bollywood actor than this guy. And probably I should say the same for the interviewer as well. Intelligent questions certainly bring out intelligent articulate answers.

[@amir-ot4nl]

gnomedster:yeah the interviewer is amazing unique and yet engaging

[@naughtygal9]

after seeing this interview my perspective for ranbir changed a lot...in a positive way.probably the most honest actor n person in bollywood right now.

[@rajkamal_khare]

5p

[@ashokrana1264]

It's surprising how smart he can be!! And how many people count him in one of his favourites😘😍

[@misss685]

I just can't concentrate on what he is saying.. He's looking damn handsome!! ;p

[@kaustubhlsp]

This is how interviews should be...casual and informal yet heart to heart talk with covering all grounds. Brilliant. Subscribed.

[@raghavramaiah]

Finally a interviewer and a interviewee making absolute sense.. Brilliant!

[@worldconnection7569]

Ranbir is a Star in my heart The most loveing men ever

[@samjosh9635]

Ranbir Kapoor is my God. So refreshingly honest. Love him. God bless you. Never give up this attitute. Will take you places in life.

[@ShrutiSen27]

One of the best interview's that I've seen till date. Deep, honest and holistic. Ranbir Kapoor is not just about looks, charm and his acting...he has a lot of insight and is courageous enough to showcase them with ease.

[@srutirao5503]

classy, humble, down to earth, talented, intelligent,charming person

[@greeshmas3194]

I love that Ranbir is a very honest person when it comes to answering questions, he doesn't bullshit like other people & I love this interview for asking him actual questions and not about his personal life

[@arnavmalhotra4051]

Ranbir is so hot. The interviewer is so lucky to meet him in person. I would totally faint if ever God gave me the opportunity to meet Ranbir.

[@InspirationalDamsel]

This is by far the best and honest and geniune and straight frm the heart interview i hav come across of ranbir. So easy going...casual.. 10/10 Ranbir... Luvvvv yaa lotssss

[@Samy.10VE]

Came back to this two years later and I still absolutely adore Ranbir, my favourite actor ever! He's becoming better and better! Love this interview so much ❤

[@therajkakkad9321]

I Do Not Have Words To Express My Gratitude Towards The Anchor. She Is Such A Talented & Amazing Host, Full Of Intelligence, Knowledge Of Films & Excellent Questionnaire..!! Great Interview.

[@stevenp9914]

This guy would be remembered for long .. Sheer talent .. I've nvr being soo impressed by anyne in recent tyms like I've been wen I ve watched his movies.. He's just a class apart .. And believe me I hated him in Saawariyaa.. The transition he has made is soo immense and the whole Bollywood praises him for his talent .. u cn chck all the other actors comments and its vivid...

[@abhishekmarwaha4147]

A complicated person as most artists are. He seems to oscillate between having a method for a film and not having any method at all.Knows what his strengths are. His honesty and down to earthness being examples.

[@fatyfarrell]

Finally someone is asking him about his work and not his link ups or the pranks on sets..

[@N00PURA]

The interviewer is really good. I like the kind of questions she's asking. They're not the typical questions that are usually asked to a celebrity. She makes the person feel comfortable. I hope she interviews Shekhar Kapur. Would really like to hear his story through her questions. Cheers!

[@anamikak6590]

Best Ranbir interview till date !!

[@archum123]

soo honestly beautiful person .... a boy next door. Love him. Just be the same Ranbir!!

[@hennakrishana]

One of the best interviews of ranbir! the interviewer did a great job with the questions!

[@thebombayscouser3431]

Where was this interview all this while! Gold!

[@anky0010]

respect for Rk. such a nice person

[@sneha8732]

Cudnt believe Ranbir was a duffer student. As he looks so intelligent offscreen. Whether it's an interview or interaction. He looks so smart I like the concept of the interview. They r drinking, eating, sitting casually. Just so natural. No formalities

[@Arcticonk]

most talented and bankable actor of our generation

[@bklyn2014]

I love Ranbir! He's such an amazing actor and I love the way he handles his interviews..he's an honest guy and I feel somewhat misunderstood.

[@noblekilleroftime]

This is the third video of Tete a Tete I have watched today. Love the unpretentious manner and the intelligent conversations. I wasn't very sure about the interviewer at first but she is doing a brilliant job.

[@kajalramchandani]

Gosh, Ranbir is the cutest. This is one of his best interviews ever - got to know so much about my favorite actor! And besides, hope Ranbir's reading this, you are not just a temporary heart throb, trust me.

[@green200711]

I remember watching Rocket Singh the day after it released, in the theatre, .... and actually loving it.

[@Samy.10VE]

I love Ranbir and got to know a lot of new things about him! Great interview

[@sahantharaka5645]

[@songs3248]

It Was The Best Interview That I Hv Ever Seen! Ranbir Is Really Honest! He's Unique And Is very Happy The Way He Is..And Doesn't Want To Change! And For That I Admire Him Alot! :)

[@vinodpareek2268]

It’s been 11 years…omg 😢

[@TheKhem03]

Such a wonderful & insightful interview. Intelligent questions & answers - I really started liking Ranbir after watching this :)

[@rameshrawal90]

ranbir i am big fan of you.......

[@chiragtawarmalani]

A Perfect "INTER" view! Subscribed and looking forward for such brilliant and casual talks. Love & Regards.

[@ritusen79]

This interview gives so much food of thought to anyone who admires cinema, and dreams of Indian Cinematic Criticism growing beyond the yellow journalism it is mired in. So, thank you Ms. Tiwari for dwelling on issues like the genre of comedy, the notion of spoofs, the portrayal of handicap, the intertextual connect between films, to name a few. Looking forward to many more....

[@duyutatung5064]

What is this yar... More than one could probably ask for in one go.. Great.. great .. momement/interview.. Hell yeah.....

[@sidhasilanaik6320]

Totally Loved it. Interview was so raw

[@Samy.10VE]

Not everyone is Angels this is the really world where most people swear and smoke :/ nonetheless I love him :)

[@ashishkumarmanghnani]

I really loved Rocketsingh.

[@mishtijuno2945]

Interesting interview! Ranbir is intelligent, honest and humble. I like his personality, there's nothing pretentious about him. It's difficult to hold my attention for over an hour, but both Ranbir and the interviewer were great. Ranbir is a natural, good looking and talented.

[@tusharthakur5602]

Awesome conversation

[@Catti808]

and I thought, I was the only one who got confused by rajneeti

[@nickblue11]

TBIP Tete-a-Tete does one of the best interviews with great depth

[@greeshmas3194]

I loved this interview because it is probably the most honest interview I have ever seen any star give. Ranbir is so unique in that way, he answers questions very honestly and it is refreshing. He seems like such a down to earth but ambitious guy who really doesn't seem to take his stardom to his head and is more worried about his work. I really admire that about him!

[@vidushiverma698]

Awesome one..... Jst love him

[@amitkumarjena4598]

Hello Ranbir.. m the die fan of YOU

[@premparekh1823]

Inspiration 🧿🎥🤩

[@sweetieepreitty3437]

[@divyanair12]

You've got some bit of honesty... gotta give it to u. Girls sap it out of u?? u?? who! Yes u are also responsible towards every person putting in even a thought for your movie. That's a hero.It's a responsibility. You can make break a life more easily than make it. Aye dil hain mushkil jeena yahan...

[@Gunti]

His Home, His bed ... Shades may be because of dark circles ? :P Hardly matters man ! Relax and enjoy :)

[@SRDhain]

A VERY honest interview, and refreshing with it, too.

[@nSackStyles]

what were they talking about in the pre rockstar phase ? What happened ?

[@kitchenkarma]

phew..this interview must have been so exhausting!!

[@GauravThakur-rk7jr]

What name Ranbir said @ 1:02:32. Can anyone tell me?

[@aduhan4729]

+Gaurav Thakur They're talking about a french movie 'la vie en rose'

[@abhishekrajoria0]

grt interview..

[@cruncyPopadum]

i just wish he had taken off the sunnies i would like to look at his face not just his lips.. they are making me sin

[@MsDX1990]

who is the interviewer

[@shaktizoom5236]

whose house is this?

[@vaibhav_nitesh]

Couldn't understand her first question, can anybody write it for me word by word ?

[@MsKabam]

why is he wearing shades inside a room? Not judging just wondering.

[@prmukerji]

Shades in a room. funny!

[@lycralily]

Yeah, I just noticed! Such a movie star thing to do

[@ashokchouhaan]

+preeti mukerji must be heavily drunk last night and got up early....or hiding under eye dark circles

[@firdausansarifard]

The last answer.

[@umm3allawy]

take out u r glass wanna see ur beautiful eyes 😍😍

[@janvipandit9049]

This guy is odd, he said i can never cry .. A psychologist would say he is a ....!!!!!!!

[@campagne12]

Edith Piaff how could u forget that n remember the actresses name only.

[@rameshrawal90]

nice

[@bigbrainboi3d911]

Happy

[@BollywoodMediaOnline]

1 hour wow

[@JustMe-jr4ok]

Was Amitabh any good in his 70's movies, For no reason he is so hyped

[@Ishitmypantsfull]

I don't think the "star-trait" is that important to become stars. Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro for example are different every time in every movie.

[@manasiaravind8617]

I love u ranbir 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 ...... U r fabbb

[@joinobbintejahan5060]

He smoke in show !!!
