Ranbir Kapoor recently opened up about the work -life balance advice by Aamir Khan, which has had an immense effect on him. Despite sharing only brief moments with Aamir in Rajkummar Hirani’s 2014 movie PK, Ranbir holds the senior actor in high regard.
During a conversation with Nikhil Kamath for his podcast People by WTF, the actor shared a poignant piece of advice he received from Aamir that has since shaped his approach to balancing his professional and personal life.
“I met him, and he was in tears,” recalled Ranbir when he met the senior actor two years ago. “I asked him what happened, and he said, ‘I have spent 30 years of my life, and the only relationship I’ve had is with my audience.'” This confession from Aamir highlighted the sacrifices he made for his career, often at the cost of personal relationships.
This struck a chord with Ranbir, who is determined to not let ambition overshadow his personal life. “The endeavour is to balance your reel life with your real life and not get swayed by ambition,” he explained.
