Ranbir Kapoor: I have never felt that I'm better or worse than anybody

In a candid conversation with IANS, Ranbir Kapoor shared about how he feels like to be a star. He also believes that his failures have always taught him more than his success and that he's running his own race.

"My first film itself was a very big disaster, the disaster-ness was celebrated but somewhere as an actor and artiste I had a deep conviction that flops and hits won't matter to me. That gave me confidence. I have never felt competitive towards anybody. I have never felt that I am better or worse than anybody. I feel like I am running my own race. I feel like I have very strong views on how and what I want to do in my life, the kind of films I want to do. The kind of characters I want to portray and of course I am going to see a lot of failures," he said.

"Whenever your films work, I promise you the only feeling you get is 'phew!' till the next one. But when you have failure, you understand, you introspect and come to perspective," he continued.

He added, "I have had a very blessed 15 year career and I have a lot of self confidence in myself that I am the best of course I don't like to put that energy out and say it but I tell myself I am the best because that keeps me going."

Kapoor will next be seen in Animal also starring Rashmika Mandanna and Anil Kapoor. The film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
