Don't have any additions to this thread that don't involve him making ludicrous faces, but thank you for starting it, rubicon. The guy definitely deserves it.

There are a few things in Ranveer's back-story that don't seem to tally. We hear interviewers remark that he has no filmi connections and yet he is related to Sonam and Arjun?? (I think they are cousins). He says that he decided on an acting career at about 19 years of age. Yet his dance fluency suggests that he did not begin dancing at that late stage but much earlier (as early as Ranbir Kapoor - who was being groomed for stardom).

^I love Ranveer, but I do think he is lying about being a self - made actor. He is related to Sunita Bhavnani (Anil Kapoor's wife). There's no doubt that being connected to Anil Kapoor gave him a boost and helped him immensely.

1 Ranveer is a First Cousin to Sonam (and her sister Rhea), on their mother's side of the family. He is *not* related to Arjun, who is Sonam's first cousin on her father's side. Arjun and Ranveer are both first cousins to Sonam (as a unit: The Cousins Of Sonam Kapoor), but they are not cousins to each other. All three were born in 1985. The party Sonam gave for their mutual 27th birthdays, might have been the first time they met each other! (Do any of you know cousins of your cousins? I don't. I only meet them at my cousins' weddings, and then promptly forget them again.) As for Anil, Sonam & Rhea's father, the question is whether "uncle by marriage" counts as "uncle," or not. Different cultures might have different opinions on that subject. Among my Jewish kin in America, the husbands of my parents' sisters are my uncles. In Englshwoman George Eliot's novels, they are "uncles" but not "own uncles." Perhaps in India, in Mumbai or the Kapoors' native Lahore, they are not counted as uncles, or need not be. But, I must say that I would like to ask Ranveer, if he ever told me that he was non-filmi, "what about your Uncle Anil?" If he denied that as kinship, my next question would be "Cousin Sonam?" and my third "her father?" 2 One does *not* need to plan to be a Movie Star, or indeed any kind of actor, in order to learn to dance as a child! I was taught to square dance in elementary school, as a part of gym class. My parents made sure that I knew Social Dancing, so I wouldn't embarrass myself at family weddings, where dancing was de rigor. Had I been a girl, I would have been sent to Ballet Class, as all of my girl cousins were for a couple of years. I learned to Folk Dance in religious youth groups, and joined social folk dance groups when I was grown. All that was in America. I'd imagine that Indians are even more serious about teaching their kids to dance. And geniuses like Ranveer through themselves into dance with enthusiasm, early, and keep it up all through childhood.
