Instead, he will always choose scripts and roles he is convinced of even if he does not expect a blockbuster from them.

Because of his decision to play those unconventional characters. He has given us such great and diverse characters and outstanding performances in his relatively short career. From his film debut as Ranbir Raj in Saawariya to Raj Sharma in Bachna Ae Haseeno, Sid in Wake Up Sid,...

Ranbir Kapoor apart from making his mother and the grandmother proud for playing the role of a Sikh has also done the community pride, more so on the Indian silver screen, as till date Sardars were not presented in a very positive light. A stereotype notion about a community has broken and it would go a long way in inspiring other actors as well to bring the Sikhs into the mainstream.
