Besides dating Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif and winning a slew of awards, there’s a lot more to the fiercely private Ranbir Kapoor – here’s 5 things we bet you didn’t know about the Bollywood star who you won’t find anywhere on Instagram

As he turns 38 on September 28, here are a few things to know about the fiercely private star (a confessed introvert), who will next be seen in the film Brahmastra, alongside girlfriend Alia Bhatt and Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan.
