He is the much-loved rising son in B-Town and has been branded as a Casanova what with his reported liaisons with Katrina Kaif (and subsequent break off with Deepika Padukone). It seems the gossip mills have been linking him up with one name after another.
But ask actor Ranbir Kapoor about this, andhe skirts the issue saying that betrayal and cheating are part and parcel of romance today.
So, who’s that one dream girl who he hopes would cheat on her partner for him? “Madhuri Dixit!” pat comes the answer.
The actor admits that he has not yet gotten over his teenage crush on actor Madhuri Dixit. The Kapoor scion says that given a choice he’d love to do a ‘loyalty test’ on her even if she’s happily married.
The actor is referring to a popular international reality show that’s based on a relationship being put to test by an undercover agent, who tries to flirt and wean away one partner in a relationship. “When it comes to Madhuri Dixit, I am tempted to do a loyalty test on her... No other woman has that effect on me,” says Ranbir coyly when talking of his childhood crush.
Even if she’s happily married to Dr Sriram Nene and with two kids?“I know I shouldn’t be saying this. But come on, she’s my favourite actor, and it doesn’t matter that she’s married,” quips Ranbir.
Since he’s brought up the topic of trying to lure a woman he fancied away from her boyfriend or husband, would he do that in the future? “I’d be petrified. Besides, I am not as good an actor to track somebody this close,” says the newest superstar on the block.
However, Ranbir hopes to make films on Emotional Atyachaar type topics in the future. “Our culture doesn’t allow us to glorify this side of human nature, but it’s important to know that such things are rampant here too,” he says.
