“While I was growing up, my father was extremely pious. He used to do two pujas a day, celebrate Diwali with a prayer. We would bring a 5-day Ganpati home and one at RK studios for 10 days. We celebrated Navratri, so God was a huge thing growing up. It gave a lot of peace to my father. My mother was less religious, but she used to do it because it made him happy and we as kids saw them, so I have a good feeling about God.”

Ranbir reveals he no longer asks God for things 

Ranbir Kapoor grew up in a big family surrounded by famous stars. Despite being a firm believer in religion, the actor said that he no longer asks God for things since he was young. Instead,  his relationship with God is based on gratitude. In his words: 

“I realized very early on that my manifestation power is very strong. If I ask something from God, I was getting it too easily. At a very young age, I stopped asking thinking I would save it for a rainy day. Since then every night I just thank god and go to sleep. Even when my mother is fighting and I don’t want to have a conflicted conversation or I want a film to succeed, I never ask God for that. So my relationship with God is all about gratitude. I feel very grateful for the place I am in."

“In the last couple of years, I went deep into reading what it is and what the effects are. If you believe it, it is like giving hope to yourself. When I sit for Pooja, I feel connected. I do chanting every day for an hour and feel good. So I believe in God.”
