'I have heard from filmmakers...': Ranbir Kapoor eats alone at cafes while shooting abroad, doesn't have team; reveals Dharma Cornerstone Agency COO
Ranbir Kapoor is known for maintaining a low-key life, away from the limelight of showbiz, especially when he is not promoting his movies. The actor, with no official social media presence, is barely seen making appearances at star-studded events. While several Bollywood stars like to travel with their army of entourage, Kapoor prefers to ditch them. He even enjoys eating food alone at a café while shooting abroad.
During an interaction with IndiaTV ShowBiz, Rajeev Masand, the COO of Dharma Cornerstone Agency, made some interesting revelations about Ranbir Kapoor. He said that the Saawariya debutant doesn't prefer to be constantly surrounded by his team, unlike many B-town celebs who travel with a big entourage.
Recalling an encounter with RK at the airport, Masand stated that he saw the Rockstar actor standing quietly in a queue at an airport, alone. 'It's not a sight that you see of actors; they are never alone,' he opined. When Rajeev asked the superstar about his team, Kapoor politely responded, 'What team?' clarifying that he was there all by himself. The actor then exited the airport and was received by someone.
Rajeev went on to state that while this is normal for common people, celebs as successful and popular as Ranbir have an army of people. The COO shared another story that would make you respect the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actor even more. Rajeev stated that he has heard from filmmakers that when they would break for lunch while shooting abroad, they would find Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor's son eating food alone at some cafe.
'That's the mark of an intelligent actor,' stated Masand, adding that this proves that RK needs to be in touch with the real world to be able to play those characters authentically.
Coming to Ranbir Kapoor's work front, he will be next seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, alongside his wife and actress, Alia Bhatt. The couple will also be joined by Vicky Kaushal in the upcoming entertainer. Apart from that, he will also be part of Nitesh Tiwari-directed Ramayana with actors Yash, Sai Pallavi, and Sunny Deol.

Who was Khadiyah ‘KD' Lewis? Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star dies at 44
Khadiyah 'KD' Lewis has died at the age of 44, her brother, Jamaal Lewis, confirmed the news in an emotional Facebook post. The late reality star rose to fame after being featured on season 3 of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta. Khadiyah died on May 30, and the cause of her death remains unknown. Her funeral service will be held in her hometown of Oklahoma City on June 11, according to an obituary. She first appeared on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta Season 3 as rapper Yung Joc's real estate agent and personal assistant. In Season 4, she returned as Yung Joc's girlfriend and was a part of the show's supporting cast, per The US Sun. The reality star was a business owner of a real estate investment firm, consulting agency and financial services company. Khadiyah described herself as an 'entrepreneur, speaker, consultant, accountant, and branding ambassador' on her Instagram page, where she had 147K followers. In his heartfelt post, Jamaal mourned her sister, writing, 'Been at a lost for words for some days now.' 'And to think that I'll ever have the words to describe the person you've been and the legacy that you left behind would be erroneous,' Jamaal went on, adding, 'Long Live my sister Khadiyah Lewis. You left behind a legacy most individuals can only dream of.' 'Thank you for loving me the way you did and always having my back no matter what. God blessed me when he made me your baby brother and for that I am eternally thankful,' Jamaal continued before concluding his post with, 'You are forever on my mind and in my heart. I love you!' Fans were equally devastated by the news, as one wrote, 'What?! No way and so unexpected.' Another fan added, 'She was super professional in describing and detailing the house for Karlie [Redd] and Joc when she wore the hat of a real estate agent.' A third noted, 'She wore many professional hats. That woman got to the bag,' while one more said that Khadiyah 'had a very eloquent way of talking, I hate seeing people pass away so young.'

5 things fans got wrong about GTA 6's trailer 2
The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI dropped like a bomb on May 6, 2025, and fans wasted no time dissecting every blink, explosion, and palm tree. But in the frenzy of trailer breakdowns and Reddit theories, some got a little carried away. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Here are five things fans misinterpreted in GTA 6's Trailer 2. 1. Jason Isn't Robbing Stores, He's Collecting Protection Money When Jason smacks a cashier and grabs a wad of cash, many assumed he was pulling off a robbery. But that's not the full story. Why Fans Got It Wrong: Earlier in the trailer, local crime boss Brian tells Jason: 'Get those businesses in line.' The scene isn't a stick-up; it's organized extortion, part of a protection racket. This lines up with the broader theme of GTA 6: rising through criminal ranks, not petty theft. Why Jason Isn't A Cop in GTA 6 2. Jason Could Not Be an Undercover Cop A single line from a police officer: 'Us cops, we gotta protect each other', launched wild theories that Jason is a fed. Why Fans Got It Wrong: Jason's official Rockstar bio confirms he's ex-military, not law enforcement. That cop line? It likely hints at police corruption, not Jason's secret identity. If anything, it sets the stage for the cops being another antagonistic force, not allies. 3. Lucia's Ankle Monitor Didn't Just Magically Disappear Fans were quick to cry 'mistake!' when Lucia's ankle monitor, visible in early scenes, was missing later. But this isn't a goof; it's storytelling. Why Fans Got It Wrong: The ankle monitor only disappears after Lucia is seen committing major crimes (bank heist, nightclub shootout). That likely means it was removed, either as part of a plot deal or a forced escape. Rockstar doesn't do continuity errors by accident. This is intentional plot progression. 4. The Motel Fire is Not Just Some Random Footage The burning motel? Some fans brushed it off as visual filler. Big mistake. Why Fans Got It Wrong: That exact same motel appeared in Trailer 1, and we think it was Jason and Lucia's safehouse. A cheeky sign reading 'In Case of Fire' inside the room? Classic Rockstar foreshadowing. Most likely, the fire is deliberate arson, pushing our protagonists into full-blown fugitives. Will GTA 6 Have A Third Protagonist? 5. A Third Playable Character Seems Unlikely Some thought the police raid scenes meant a new, playable character—maybe even a cop. But that theory doesn't hold. Why Fans Got It Wrong: Rockstar's official site names only Jason & Lucia as protagonists. The raid scenes are likely cutscenes or mission setups, not POV gameplay. It makes more sense narratively for cops to chase the duo, not become the third wheel. Fan theories? Always fun. But Rockstar is known for intentional, layered storytelling. What looks like a goof is often a setup. What seems random usually pays off later. Trailer 2 isn't just a visual tease—it's packed with plot, if you know where to look. Watch closely. Question everything. But maybe… don't overthink it too much.

Ranbir Kapoor's Clean-Shaven Look, Drastic Weight Loss After Animal Leaves Fans Stunned
Last Updated: Fresh off the shoot for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, Ranbir has shifted gears to begin prep for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming romantic saga Love and War. Ranbir Kapoor is making headlines again and it's not for his film performances, but jaw-dropping transformation. The actor, who had bulked up and sported a rugged beard for his intense role in Animal, was recently spotted looking drastically leaner and completely clean-shaven. The video of his new look has now taken the internet by storm. Fresh off the shoot for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, Ranbir has shifted gears to begin prep for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming romantic saga Love and War. In a viral clip circulating online, the actor is seen in the city sporting a fresh, clean-shaven face and a slick hairstyle, noticeably slimmer than his Animal avatar. Dressed casually in a red tee and denim from his personal label, Ranbir waved at the paparazzi, posed for pictures, and even handed his cap to one of the photographers before stepping into his car. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Fans who were used to seeing his wild, bearded look in Animal were stunned by the dramatic change. In Animal, Ranbir played the ferocious Ranvijay Singh, whose violent journey begins when his father Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor) is threatened. The film followed his descent into violence and eventual confrontation with his cousin Abrar Haque (Bobby Deol). It ended with a cliffhanger, setting up Animal Park, the upcoming sequel. Interestingly, Ranbir's grungy look in Animal almost didn't happen. Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim recently revealed that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga was initially against the idea of long hair and beard, fearing it looked too much like Ranbir's appearance in Sanju. 'Had Ranbir's hair and beard not been long in Animal, I don't think his character would have the same impact," Aalim told Galatta India. 'Vanga sir initially said the long hair isn't working… I had to convince him that once the full look was in place, it wouldn't resemble Sanju." Despite criticism for its perceived misogynistic tone, Animal was a blockbuster, earning over Rs 915 crore globally. With Love and War now on the horizon, Ranbir's latest transformation has sparked fresh curiosity about what's in store next. First Published: June 05, 2025, 23:29 IST
