Reflecting on their shared traits, Kareena acknowledged the remarkable presence and demeanor that sets Ranbir apart in the Indian film industry. She praised his authenticity and kindness, likening his demeanor to that of her husband Saif Ali Khan, remarking on his genuine and compassionate nature. She said, “Ranbir has an air, an attitude that nobody has in the Indian film industry. I may sound biased but I don’t think I’m biased as I believe there’s no one like Ranbir. He is also a no-nonsense person. If he likes you, it’s fine. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t put much efforts. He is very kind like Saif (Ali Khan). He has kind eyes too.”

Drawing attention to Ranbir’s illustrious lineage, Kareena highlighted the legacy of acting excellence inherited from his parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. Despite his impressive track record at the box office, “Animal” faced criticism from some quarters of the internet for its portrayal of problematic masculinity and violence.
