Ranbir Kapoor recently attended the Global Teacher prize gala held in Dubai. He there represented India. Ranbir in the event was seen giving speech also.
Ranbir in his given speech, "As an actor, I've often thought of how acting and teaching are close cousins. Both require limitless reserves of energy and enthusiasm. Both require humor, empathy, a gift for expressing ideas and holding the attention of an audience. And, both are jobs that come with homework in the after-hours."
Ranbir on choosing acting said, "People think that I am an actor because my parents are actors. But, in truth, the only reason I wanted to become an actor was to get away from studies. I even took one-line roles, small parts in the background in theater productions, so that I could bunk classes."
Ranbir considers Mr. Khanna( his second-grade Hindi teacher) and his debut film Saawariya director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. "Bhansali sir beat the craft out of me. He also taught me everything I know about films today. My experience of the best teachers is that they can detect potential - even when a student, and in my case, an actor, with the many glittering distractions of youth, is doing their best to waste or ignore their talents. Without teachers, much of this potential would go unused."
