Rajeev Masand: Ranbir, welcome to CNN-IBN. Were you always destined to be an actor?
Ranbir Kapoor: Yes, I think so. I don’t really remember the time when I sat down and thought what I would do in my life. I lived around films, so it was always about something to do with films. But I didn’t really say as a child that I would grow up to be an actor.
Rajeev Masand: Were the signs there like looking at the mirror and mimicking your father?
Ranbir Kapoor: Not mimicking but you see a trailer of a song and you suddenly start dancing to it or imitate what’s happening onscreen. So, I have done all of that and I guess those are the signs, which showed my passion for acting. It was slow and steady but it was always there.
