Ranbir Kapoor: "I Feel I am Just an Average Actor and a Below-Average Person, Who Just Got Great Opportunities."

In Bollywood, being a part of commercially successful movies don't just help you grab better projects, it also determines the longevity of your career. After being in the industry for 11 years, and being a part of big-banner blockbusters as well as movies that couldn't bring enough audience to the theatre, Ranbir has seen a lot of highs and lows in his career. When asked how he handles it, the 35-year-old actor said, "Actually, [handling] success is easy. When you are successful, you don’t really feel it because people are only full of praise, but failure teaches you a lot. One may feel that like failure, success can also be handled, but failure is a way tougher opponent. It will slap you hard, and you won’t even realise it."

He added, "I have no regrets. I feel failures have taught me more than my successes have. Still, it’s hard to handle, but you ought to have a good support system—be it your family, partner, or friends—people who can keep you grounded and comfort you, besides giving you the confidence that it’s just a bend, and not the end."

While speaking of the bad phase and its impact on him, Ranbir said, he always had a lot of people who liked him and thought of him as a good actor. "I feel I am just an average actor and a below-average person, who just got great opportunities. Yes, I have good belief and confidence in myself that I can do something. And that’s why I am successful, because otherwise, I am not saving the world. I am just acting in movies so just can’t take it that seriously," Ranbir added.
