Ranbir Kapoor Wiki, Age, Height, Net Worth 2026

Ranbir Kapoor is the 44-year-old Bollywood star playing Lord Rama in Ramayana: Part One, the Nitesh Tiwari epic that opened in cinemas on 5 November 2026 and crossed ₹230 crore net in India within its first four days. It is the biggest opening of a career that already includes seven Filmfare Awards, and it arrives in the same week the actor celebrated his first Diwali with wife Alia Bhatt and daughter Raha at the family’s new Krishna Raj bungalow in Mumbai.

Born into Hindi cinema’s first family, Kapoor spent nearly two decades turning a famous surname into a record of his own, from the coming-of-age charm of Wake Up Sid to the intensity of Rockstar and Sanju and the box-office force of Animal. This biography covers his age, height, career, wife, daughter, net worth and the Ramayana release that is rewriting his box-office record.

Early Life

Ranbir Raj Kapoor was born on 28 September 1982 in Bombay, now Mumbai, to actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. He is the grandson of actor-director Raj Kapoor and the great-grandson of Prithviraj Kapoor, making him the fourth generation of the Kapoor family in Hindi cinema. His elder sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, born in 1980, is an interior and fashion designer, and actresses Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor are his paternal first cousins.

Kapoor was educated at the Bombay Scottish School in Mahim and H.R. College of Commerce and Economics before moving to New York, where he studied filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts and method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. He has spoken openly about how his parents’ troubled marriage affected him as a child, saying the experience built a “reservoir of emotions” inside him that drew him towards films. After returning to Mumbai, he worked as an assistant director to Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the 2005 film Black, an experience he later described as gruelling but formative — and one he took on in the hope Bhansali would offer him an acting role.

Career

Bhansali did just that, casting Kapoor as the lead in the tragic romance Saawariya (2007), opposite Sonam Kapoor. The film failed at the box office, but Kapoor won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. His first commercial success followed with Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), and 2009 brought three releases — Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year — which together earned him the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor. The political drama Raajneeti (2010) confirmed he could carry a serious ensemble film.

His rise to the top came with Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar (2011), in which he played the troubled musician Jordan, and Anurag Basu’s Barfi! (2012), in which he played a cheerful deaf-and-mute man. The two performances won him consecutive Filmfare Awards for Best Actor, and Barfi! was submitted as India’s official entry for the Academy Awards. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) made him a bankable star, but a run of commercial failures followed, with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) the main exception. His portrayal of Sanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju (2018) won him a third Filmfare Best Actor award and ended the lean years.

After a hiatus, Kapoor returned with the fantasy film Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022) and the action drama Animal (2023), which became his highest-grossing release and won him a fourth Filmfare Award for Best Actor. In total he has won seven Filmfare Awards, has featured in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list, and was included in the Time 100 list of the world’s most influential people in 2026. Away from films, he is a co-owner of the Indian Super League football team Mumbai City FC. His next release is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, co-starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, which is scheduled for 21 January 2027. His peer Shah Rukh Khan remains the industry’s biggest box-office draw, while Hrithik Roshan is the contemporary he is most often compared with for screen presence and dancing.

Personal Life

Kapoor married actress Alia Bhatt on 14 April 2022 in a small ceremony at their Mumbai home, after several years of dating. Their daughter, Raha Kapoor, was born on 6 November 2022 and turned four just days before Diwali 2026. The family is famously private about their daughter, and Raha’s public appearances are rare and usually limited to family photographs shared by her parents.

On Sunday 8 November 2026, Alia shared photographs from the family’s Diwali celebrations at Krishna Raj Bungalow, the six-storey Pali Hill home in Bandra named after Ranbir’s grandparents, Raj and Krishna Kapoor. The family moved into the rebuilt bungalow in November 2025, making this their first major festive celebration there. The photographs showed Raha planting kisses on both her parents’ cheeks, watching a pandit tie a sacred thread around her father’s wrist during the puja, and the family standing before a portrait of the late Rishi Kapoor. Later that night, the couple greeted photographers from the balcony of their new home.

Ranbir Kapoor Net Worth 2026

Ranbir Kapoor’s net worth in 2026 has not been officially disclosed, and estimates vary. Celebrity Net Worth puts the figure at $50 million, while Indian trade reporting generally clusters between ₹345 crore and ₹400 crore — roughly $45–50 million. No single figure is backed by verifiable financial reporting, so the range, rather than one number, is the honest answer.

His income comes from film fees, brand endorsements and business interests, including his stake in Mumbai City FC. His biggest paydays have come in recent years: Animal became his highest-grossing release, and Ramayana: Part One is already his biggest opener. With the second part of Ramayana scheduled for Diwali 2027 and Love & War due in January 2027, his earning power is at its peak.

Ramayana and Diwali 2026

Ramayana: Part One, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and released on 5 November 2026, casts Kapoor as Lord Rama opposite Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, with Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. The film is produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with the visual effects company DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, with music by Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman, and the two parts together are reported to carry a combined budget of ₹4,000 crore.

The opening was historic. According to figures compiled from Sacnilk and reported by The Week, the film grossed ₹230.05 crore worldwide in its first two days, including more than $10 million overseas. In India, it collected ₹64.85 crore net on day one, dipped on day two, then grew over the weekend; by the evening of day four, The Times of India reported total India net collections of ₹238.85 crore. The second instalment is slated for release at Diwali 2027.
