Ranbir Kapoor says he is an 'average actor' and a 'below-average person'

Actor has had his fare share of successes and failures in the industry

Even though his first film Saawariya failed to perform well at the box office, Ranbir Kapoor did get a dream start to his career. Since then, actor has had his fare share of hits and misses.

But jumping into the 11th year of his career, Ranbir believes that his failures taught him more.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the Jagga Jasoos actor said that handling success is easy because everyone around you is only full of praises. "But failure teaches you a lot. It will slap you hard and you won’t even realise it," he stated.

Speaking of his failures, Ranbir said that in desperate times, you ought to have a good support system. "Be it your family, partner or friends — people who can keep you grounded and comfort you, besides giving you the confidence that it’s just a bend, and not the end," continued the 35-year-old star.

Ranbir stated that even during his bad time, there were people who thought of him as a good actor. However, Ranbir understands that since he was born into a film family, he was aware of all such things while growing up.

"I feel I am just an average actor and a below-average person, who just got great opportunities. Yes, I have confidence in myself that I can do something and that’s why I am successful. Otherwise, I am not saving the world," Ranbir explained.

Discussing the expectations people have from him after the success of Sanju, the Tamasha actor said, "It's always encouraging that people find that there's a potential in you, but then you also have to deliver. The idea is to be a part of films, which make a large number of people happy but at the same time, I want to do it my way."
