Ranbir Kapoor’s revelation about choosing acting as his career!

Actor Ranbir Kapoor was lately in Dubai where he attended the Global Teacher prize gala for which he was India's representative. Mahira Khan too was a part of the event and the two actors were seen intermingling with each other. 

Ranbir introduced two video messages at the event from England's Prince Harry and Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni.  

He also gave a speech himself which was a hit amongst the viewers present. As per to a famous tabloid, he specified how acting and teaching are close cousins. He told, "As an actor, I've often thought of how acting and teaching are close cousins. Both require limitless reserves of energy and enthusiasm. Both require humour, empathy, a gift for expressing ideas and holding the attention of an audience. And, both are jobs that come with homework in the after-hours." 

On why he chose acting as his profession, Ranbir told, "People think that I am an actor because my parents are actors. But, in truth, the only reason I wanted to become an actor was to get away from studies. I even took one-line roles, small parts in the background in theatre productions, so that I could bunk classes." 

He also spoke honestly about the two teachers in his life - Mr. Khanna who is his second-grade Hindi teacher and his Saawariya director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Ranbir disclosed, "Bhansali sir beat the craft out of me. He also taught me everything I know about films today. My experience of the best teachers is that they can detect potential - even when a student, and in my case, an actor, with the many glittering distractions of youth, is doing their best to waste or ignore their talents. Without teachers, much of this potential would go unused."
