As the birthday boy Ranbir Kapoor gets ready to blow out another candle and take on this year, we tell you why he is this generation’s favourite superstar…take a look:

Acting prowess:

He is a Kapoor, after all. The actor is blessed with acting skills that make him this gen’s most dependable star. From owning his character in Rockstar to making us fall in love with his outing in Barfi, RK has wooed us in every role.

His charm:

There’s reason girls swoon over him. There’s a reason two of the most beautiful actresses of Bollywood-Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif- dated him. It’s his unending charm. From the lopsided grin to his mischievous eyes, he’s as good looking as they come.

Controversies galore:

What’s a superstar without a bit of controversies, eh? The reason we relate to him is because he goofs up just like us. Whether it was his controversial relationships and their aftermath or dropping his towel in his debut movie itself or admitting to having alcohol issues, he is real and mundane when he is not being a super star.

He can sure dance:

His dance moves can be easily replicated by us, making us even bigger fans of RK! We all can definitely do the ‘Badtameez Dil’ bit without breaking out into a sweat.

He represents our gen:

Most of his roles like Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, and Tamasha, have been about the present gen and its outlook. He’s our favourite messiah to take our inhibitions, thoughts, and emotions ahead. Don’t you guys feel so too?

Happy birthday, Ranbir! Rock it hard...
