Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor celebrates his birthday on September 28. In a career spanning over 15 years, Ranbir, the grandson of the Indian film industry's 'Greatest Showman' Raj Kapoor and son of the late Rishi Kapoor, has carved his niche as an actor with his diverse character choices. Ace filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who worked with Ranbir during ‘Rockstar' and ‘Tamasha' revealed on Mid-day's Sit With Hitlist, some lesser-known qualities about the actor.

Ranbir Kapoor waits for people to talk to him

Imtiaz Ali revealed, "Ranbir, I feel is inhibited. He does not make the initial approach to start talking to somebody. He waits for them to talk to him, but he's as interested."

Explaining how the birthday boy is an actor, Imtiaz explained, "Ranbir lets himself go. Often times he is not aware of reality when he is in a shot. He is in a zone and he is lost to the world. He is lost to the process of filming as well. Ranbir is just very instinctive. But he's also extremely informed, extremely passionate, very informed about the script. Every second, and third day he'd read the whole script from beginning to end. In the little time that he gets to sleep, he would also do this."
