Ranbir further asserted that he got obsessed with his dream of becoming a big-screen star and added, "By the time I grew up these Hindi Film heroes had become my real-life heroes. Everything I did, how I dressed, how I spoke, and subconsciously everything I did was inspired by my heroes. But strangely enough, when I became an actor, I wasn’t choosing the kind of films my heroes would choose. So I may have satisfied the actor in me, but when I look back at that 12- year-old, Hindi Film Hero obsessed with Ranbir, I feel he still has to fulfil his dream.” Although Ranbir has shown done fabulous work in films like Rocket Singh- Salesman Of The Year, Rockstar, Tamasha, his father, late father Rishi Kapoor has told him that he couldn't become a national star like Amitabh Bachchan or Shah Rukh Khan. However, Kapoor added that "If I can be even 2 percent of the heroes they are then my life will be set."
