In a candid chat with Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath, Ranbir Kapoor opens up about navigating Bollywood legacy, bouncing back from high-profile box office flops, and why financial stability gives an actor the power to say no.

Ranbir Kapoor▶ 24:15

"The biggest risk for an actor isn't picking an unconventional script - it's letting the outcome of the last film dictate your mental stability. Once you separate your personal identity from Friday box office numbers, you regain the freedom to take genuine artistic risks."
