Anushka Sharma once said she would be a great mother because she has been around Ranbir Kapoor: 'He's a child'
Anushka Sharma once revealed that Ranbir Kapoor's childlike curiosity and constant need to explore everything around him surprisingly prepared her for motherhood. She observed that his behavior, though sometimes annoying, taught her patience and care. This experience gave her confidence that she could handle the challenges and joys of raising children, long before she became a mother herself.

She explained that Kapoor's curious, childlike nature—constantly wanting to know everything, opening drawers or her handbag, and checking her phone—taught her patience and care. She concluded that being around him had prepared her for motherhood. Ranbir's curiosity and talent Sharma also commented on Kapoor's personality, saying his curiosity would make him a great actor and possibly a talented filmmaker in the future. She noted, however, that his curiosity could sometimes be so intense that it became annoying.

Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor have co-starred in several films, including Bombay Velvet (2015), Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), and Rajkumar Hirani's hit Sanju (2018).
