Rajkummar Rao applauds Ranbir Kapoor and Yash for preserving star mystery: ‘Actors are supposed to be known for their work’ | Hindi Movie News
Rajkummar Rao recently shared his thoughts on the lasting conspiracy surrounding the film superstars. He recalled his younger days, describing the excitement he felt as a child while anticipating new movie releases and eagerly scanning through magazines for updates, especially when it came to Shah Rukh Khan’s films, which he always looked forward to with hunger.The Impact of Social Media on Celebrity MystiqueIn conversation with Pinkvilla, the actor observed that social media has drastically changed how celebrities are perceived, eliminating much of the mystery around their lives. Nowadays, stars share almost everything online, from waking up to having breakfast, making their daily routines fully visible to the public. This constant openness leaves little room for intrigue or surprise.Praising Ranbir Kapoor and Yash for Maintaining MysteryRao pointed out that very few celebrities have successfully maintained an aura of mystery, praising Ranbir Kapoor and Yash for avoiding excessive social media exposure. He believes that the current generation lacks this intrigue, but as he puts it, “I am saying abhi wo mystery missing hai, which I think Ranbir is doing so well. Yaa, he has kept that mystery alive.”He also mentioned that many South Indian actors have successfully preserved their mystique. He specifically praised Yash, stating, “Yash, also kept the mystery alive, which is nice, which is good,” appreciating his ability to maintain that unavailable charm.The Importance of Being Known for Work, Not LifestylePreparing to impress audiences with his gangster role in ‘Maalik’, Rajkummar stressed that actors should be recognized for their performances rather than their personal lives. He remarked, “Actors are supposed to be known for their work, not for that unka ghar kaisa hai andar se.” Reflecting on his childhood, he shared how he used to be curious about Shah Rukh Khan’s home, Mannat, and his lifestyle. He explained that this sense of mystery is crucial for any artist, adding that if he is easily available for everyone, then everyone will feel that he sees him daily, then what’s the point of watching him in theaters.
