Ranbir Kapoor says he sounds like a donkey when he laughs on-screen, recalls Sanjay Leela Bhansali's remark about his ‘Sad Face'
Ranbir Kapoor
is one of Bollywood's most charismatic leading men — a star blessed with striking looks, natural screen presence, and a diverse filmography ranging from intense dramas to rom-coms.
But if you ask Ranbir about his own quirks as an actor, you'll find a man refreshingly self-aware, even hilariously critical of himself.

In a clip going viral on the internet during his promotion for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil on the sets of Comedy Night with Kapil Sharma. Ranbir revealed that when
Sanjay Leela Bhansali
was launching him in Saawariya told him that his face structure naturally carries an inherent sadness. That observation from a filmmaker of Bhansali's stature gave the actor the confidence that he could convincingly pull off emotionally intense, melancholic roles.
But when it comes to doing jovial roles where he has to laugh etc- he can't do it.
He said 'My laughter does not have any sound,' he revealed, adding, 'And for films, laughter without a sound doesn't make sense. So I have to put a sound… and when I add a sound, I sound like a donkey.'
It's the kind of candid confession only Ranbir could make, laced with his trademark self-deprecating humour. And fans who've followed his career know this isn't the first time Ranbir has poked fun at his own limitations.Over the years, this very quality has served him well in films like Rockstar, Tamasha, and Animal, where his ability to express pain, vulnerability, and emotional turmoil has won him both critical acclaim and a loyal fan base.
Ranbir Kapoor has one of the most enviable film line up among the current generation of actors. He will be next seen in Love & War with
Alia Bhatt
and Vicky Kaushal- his first film with Bhansali after Saawariya which will be followed by Ramayan with
Sai Pallavi
, Yash and
Sunny Deol
, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. He also has Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal Park and Ayan Mukerji Dhoom 4 in the pipeline.
