From the playboy in Bachna Ae Haseeno to the passionate lover in Rockstar - he has given us many lessons in love!
Birthday boy Ranbir Kapoor is known for his panache and the chocolate boy looks. He has managed to keep his career chart pretty varied - from the playboy in the Bachna Ae Haseeno to the passionate lover in Rockstar - he for one has shown us the different stages of a lover.
On his birthday, here are some love lessons he gave us through his movies.
1. Wake Up Sid
Loving elder women isn't as unusual as the society thinks it to be.
The hyper, immature Sid falls in love with the ever ambitious Aisha, it is because of her that he starts taking responsibilities and ends up finding his true passion. Being with an elder woman sure has its pros, you can be carefree because she is there to take care of it all and meanwhile you see yourself taking charge sometimes.
2. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Opposites attract.
Well, the likes of Naina and Bunny are no way similar. Like he says " tum sahi nahi ho bas alag ho", their relationship stands true to it. The adventurous and a globetrotter Kabir falls in love with the 'scholar Naina' who beholds a very different belief system.
But they do balance each other and end up being together in the end.
3. Rockstar
Love sees no boundary.
A simple Haryanvi Janardan Jhakkad unknowingly falls in love with the rich Kashmiri Pandit girl Heer. Over a couple of desi drinks and B-grade movies they become good friends but JJ goes through a heartbreak when Heer gets married to someone else.
During his path to becoming a famous musician, he meets Heer and despite knowing of her marriage, professes his love for her. After Heer's death succumbing to anaemia, Jordan becomes a jilted lover and loses himself in the grief and suffering of his lover's death.
4. Bachna Ae Haseeno
To differentiate between lust and love.
The ventures of Ranbir's character Raj make him meet three women at different stages of his life. Raj's charismatic playboy persona makes it easier for him to have a way with the girls but he is rather casual in his approach when it comes to relationships and leaves two women heartbroken.
Devoid of any knowledge of the negativity his actions have caused he moves to Australia and finds himself in love with a girl, who rejects his proposal. Learning what it feels like to be rejected and cheated, Raj goes back to his ex-lovers and does what it takes for them to forgive him.
5. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
To go all out when it comes to love.
Prem went completely out of the way to ensure that Jenny, his love, unites with her lover Rahul. He even tries to convince Rahul's dad who opposes Jenny and Rahul's marriage because of religious barriers, Jenny being christian and Rahul a Hindu.
But, the stammering problem Prem and Jenny share whenever they are emotional reveals that Prem is in love with Jenny and acknowledging his care and sacrifices she decides to be with him.
