“I’ve been ready for this since the day I was born. I’ve grown up with this culture. There were no paparazzi when I was young, but you get used to it. You have to turn it off, that’s just how the job goes. What really matters is the work you do and the films you give. This is everything in the middle. If I have it, I should be glad that people care about what I do.

Ranbir added that every actor will be lying if they say they don’t enjoy the attention. “You work so hard to get popular then when you get popular you go and hide – it’s ironic. I wish I could hold on to some personal life of mine and just keep it private but it’s okay,” he added.

Ranbir being a social media abstainer has been at the sharp end of paparazzi clamour. “Tu chacha ban gaya, tu mama ban gaya (you have become uncles),” he responded to a group of lensmen who congratulated him on becoming a “Dad-to-be” recently.
