Ranbir Kapoor, one of Bollywood’s finest actors of this generation, has captivated audiences with his powerful performances in films like Rockstar, Barfi!, and Animal. Known for his magnetic charisma and exceptional talent, Ranbir has firmly established himself in the industry. However, his personal life, particularly his romantic relationships, often makes headlines just as much as his professional achievements.
In a memorable episode of Koffee With Karan, Jackie Shroff made an intriguing comment, likening Ranbir Kapoor to the iconic character Devdas, known for his tragic love story. Appearing on the show with his son, Tiger Shroff, Jackie shared several anecdotes from his life and career. When asked which actors, besides his son, could lead remakes of his classic films, Jackie confidently named Ranbir Kapoor as a perfect fit for a potential remake of Real Hero.
Karan Johar, the show’s host, then probed further, asking which actor could embody the lead role in a Devdas remake. Jackie quickly pointed to Ranbir Kapoor, citing the actor’s history of heartbreak as the reason. Jackie’s candid response took both Karan and Tiger by surprise. When Karan tried to defend Ranbir by suggesting that perhaps Ranbir is also a heartbreaker, Jackie retorted, “Nahi, toot ta hai bachche ka dil” (No, the kid’s heart gets broken).
Ranbir’s love life has indeed been a hot topic in the media, often overshadowing his cinematic achievements. Known for his striking looks and charm, Ranbir had significant relationships with actresses Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif, both of which ended before he found lasting love with Alia Bhatt. The couple married in April 2022 and welcomed their daughter, Raha, in November of the same year.
Ranbir Kapoor’s journey from a sought-after bachelor to a devoted husband and father showcases the roller-coaster of his personal life, making Jackie Shroff’s playful comparison to Devdas resonate even more.
