When Ranbir Kapoor revealed why he is the most educated Kapoor in the family
Mumbai, June 30
During one of his appearances on 'Koffee With Karan', actor Ranbir Kapoor revealed why he is the most educated Kapoor in the family.
He told host and filmmaker Karan Johar that when he got his 10th result, he was in America, assisting his late father, Rishi Kapoor. As mother Neetu Kapoor learned that he had passed with 54.3 % marks in the boards, she started screaming with joy.
Ranbir added that there was a huge party for him as he was the first Kapoor to have passed the 10th standard without failing a year.
KJo asked the 'Barfi' actor, "Are you the first Kapoor boy who passed without failing a year?"
Sharing how his passing the 10th standard turned into a huge celebration, Ranbir was heard saying, "I was in America, and I was assisting my father on a film he was directing, "Aa Ab Laut Chalen", and my mom went to take my results. I think Ayesha only called up my mom and said that, "Aunty, Ranbir's got 54.3". And my mom was screaming with joy. Like, there was a party thrown for me out there. My dadi had tears in her eyes that it's the first Kapoor boy who's passed the 10th standard without failing a year. So it was like a big event, you know. I'm the most educated in my family."
Talking about Ranbir's work commitments, he will soon be seen sharing screen with wife Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love & War'.
Over and above this, he will also be seen leading Nitesh Tiwari's much-awaited mythological drama, "Ramayana". While he will play Lord Ram, the project will also see Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, along with others.

As an Indian parent, I find this both hilarious and oddly relatable. We all want our kids to do well, even if "well" means different things in different families. At least Ranbir is honest about it - he's not pretending to be some academic genius. Focus on his work now is all that matters. His 'Animal' performance was class 👏
This just shows how different worlds we live in. In my house, 54% would get you grounded, not a party with your dadi crying tears of joy! 😂 But good on Ranbir for being self-aware and sharing this with humor. Looking forward to 'Ramayana' - hope he does justice to Lord Ram's character.
Honestly, this is a bit concerning. While it's funny in context, it also reflects how our film families sometimes prioritize fame over basic education. But credit to Ranbir for turning out so grounded despite this background. Also, Neetu Kapoor screaming with joy at 54% is something my mom would never understand! 🤦♀️
The story is pure gold! 🤩 But it makes you think - while we laugh at this, many Indian parents would kill for their kids to be even half as successful as Ranbir, regardless of marks. Education is important, but so is talent. And his acting skills? No one can question that. Excited for 'Love & War' with Alia and Vicky!
This is honestly the most relatable thing Ranbir has ever said. 😂 In many Indian families, even 54% is a victory if you're from
