Here’s why Ranbir Kapoor stays away from social media

On one side you have the senior actor Rishi Kapoor being subjected to innumerable trolls on social media for his unfavorable remarks on any topic and on the other side, his son Ranbir Kapoor is miles away from the hullabaloo of social media.

Ranbir has always been a secretive guy. Remember the fun episode of ‘Koffee With Karan 5’ where he made an appearance with Ranveer Singh? While Ranveer was on fire, making some shocking revelations, Ranbir was silent and played it safe with his answers. It clearly means that the man doesn’t believe in expressing himself all the time and being on social media would mean that he has to express himself on a daily basis.

Now, an insider from Bollywood revealed to a leading web portal as to why Ranbir stays away from social media. Said the insider, “While Rishi is bold and often outrageous on social media, his son Ranbir is careful with his words and doesn’t believe in rubbing people the wrong way. While Rishi is adored on Twitter for his brash statements and temperamental behaviour, Ranbir has kept away because he feels it causes unnecessary complications. Ranbir feels online media creates negativity and hostility, while his father seems to thrive on it. Rishi has over one-and-a-half million followers on Twitter and loves commenting on social and political issues. Kapoor Jr also feels that when actors give opinions on issues they get blown out of proportion, like it has happened to so many actors, so he stays away.”

Well, the man does have a valid point, considering the fact that celebs are instantly scrutinzed and targeted for their comments or opinions on any subject.

On the work front, the actor is prepping up really hard for the Sanjay Dutt biopic. He also has Anurag Basu’s ‘Jagga Jasoos’ with Katrina Kaif and the tentatively titled ‘Dragon’ opposite Alia Bhatt in his kitty.
