Piyush Mishra Reveals Ranbir Kapoor Does Not Carry His Family Legacy

Piyush Mishra, who has worked with Ranbir Kapoor in films like Rockstar and Tamasha, shared how the actor's demeanour left a lasting impact on him. According to him, Ranbir never allows his family's lineage to influence the way he behaves. Piyush claimed that RK doesn't even carry "1 per cent" of that legacy.

Talking about how Ranbir effortlessly switches from intense performances to complete ease once the camera stops rolling, Mishra said that he "becomes completely light, completely free. "Don't even ask, that guy is something else. Itna nanga besharam aadmi maine aaj tak nahi dekha." Further expressing his amusement about Ranbir, he said, "He comes from such a long, long legacy - his father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather, all the way back to Prithviraj Kapoor. But none of that burdens him. Not even 1 per cent."

He said, "Maybe he and I couldn't be so close, but I've heard he was a wonderful human being. May God give peace to his soul and make his sons great actors." ‘Second Half Bigaad Deta Hai’: Piyush Mishra Criticises Anurag Kashyap to His Face for Ruining Iconic Films ‘Gulaal’, ‘Dev D’ and ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ (Watch Video).
