Ranbir Kapoor Asks Indian Idol Contestant not to Call him ‘Uncle’: “Yaar mujhe uncle mat bula yaar”

Actor Ranbir Kapoor recently appeared on an episode of Indian Idol 13 to publicize his upcoming film Tu Jhoothi Main Makaar.

The 40-year-old actor was interacting with a contestant, who called him ‘uncle’. Ranbir is seen quickly correcting her as he says, “Yaar mujhe uncle mat bula yaar (Please don’t call me uncle).” The contestant, in turn, asked, “Acha aap batao main kya bolu (Ok, then you tell me what to call you),” to which Ranbir responded, “RK bol de (Call me RK).”

In the same episode, Ranbir entertained an interesting question from the contestant. The same contestant asked Ranbir why he has a beard and whether his newborn daughter Raha minds it. To this, Ranbir replied that Raha, born in November, has only seen him in a beard, and he is worried about how she would react when he shaves it off. Until now, she locked her eyes with me and smiled, but she hasn’t looked below that, and she will be used to it, but I am fearful if she doesn’t recognize me afterwards, it will break my heart. Ranbir is modelling the bearded look for his upcoming film, Animal. The actor, seen in a clean shaven avatar in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, is going for a messy and rough look in Animal. The film also stars Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna and is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Kabir Singh fame.
