Actor\u00a0Ranbir Kapoor\u00a0has played several characters where he has pulled off onscreen pranks on his characters. In real life too, Ranbir was just as naughty. Calling himself a \u201cgreat copier\u201d, the actor said that while he was never caught cheating in school, there was one incident when he tried to sneak out of an ongoing class, only to get caught by the principal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a conversation on Hauser\u2019s YouTube channel, Ranbir went down memory lane to remember the incident. He said, \u201cI think I was a great copier so I never got caught copying but I remember this one instance that I was in the seventh grade or eighth grade where I was crawling out of my class while the class was going on and while I was crawling the principle came and stood in front of me and I got the beating of my life, like he really whacked me and I still remember like\u00a0us thappad ki goonj mere kaano mein abhi bhi sunayi deti hai.<\/em>\u00a0I still remember that moment. (The echo of that slap still resounds in my ears.)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranbir, who will soon be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga\u2019s directorial\u00a0Animal, is known for his nuanced acting and when he is not acting, he is often spotted playing football in\u00a0Mumbai\u00a0with his fellow actor-friends. Ranbir said that his love for football started back in school and that his mother, actor Neetu Kapoor still has the paper cut-out of the first time he scored a goal during a school competition and got a mention in the newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy true calling was football. So, when I was selected for the football team, I was in the sixth grade and I remember that in our competition I scored a goal, and on the back page of The Times of India, all the interschool scorers\u2019 names used to come,\u201d recalled the actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo the first time my name came in the newspaper it was because I scored a goal and I remember my mum had cut the newspaper and she still has it. I think it was one of the biggest moments I still cherish,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranbir\u00a0will soon be seen in Animal, which stars Anil Kapoor as his onscreen father. The movie highlights the toxic father-son relationship and how it shapes his character in times to come. The movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
