Piyush Mishra makes BIG statement on Ranbir Kapoor, calls him ‘nanga besharam aadmi’: ‘That guy is…’

Piyush Mishra about Ranbir Kapoor

Famous actor, singer, songwriter Piyush Mishra worked with Ranbir Kapoor in musical dramas Rockstar (2011) and Tamasha (2015). Both films were directed by Imtiaz Ali and the scenes featuring both actors became quite famous. Now, in his latest interview, the Gangs of Wasseypur actor shared his experience of working with the Animal star.

Speaking to The Lallantop, Piyush complimented Ranbir for not carrying the burden of his family’s legacy. The 63-year-old actor said, “This man is something else. Itna nanga besharam aadmi maine aaj tak nahi dekha (I have never seen someone so relaxed and free). He comes from a very long legacy – his father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather, all the way back to Prithviraj Kapoor. But none of this weighs on him. Not even 1%.”

This isn’t the first time Piyush has showered praises on Ranbir. Last month, the Gulaal actor criticized the Bollywood actor for his extreme surroundings and tantrums, but categorically stated that Ranbir did not throw a tantrum. Speaking to Curly Tales, Mishra said, “Ajeeb sa stardom hai Bollywood actors ka (There is a strange kind of stardom that Bollywood actors have). They hang around a lot. The actors have a very long entourage, 8-9 people will come with 12-14 bodyguards with them.”

“Kya zarurat hai? Akeli jaan ho, aapko kaun maarne araha hai? Ek insaan drink karne ke liye hai, ek drink karane ke liye hai, ek baal banane ke liye aur ek make-up karne ke liye hai. Kya zarurat hai dusron pe itna bhoj daalne ki? (What is the need? You are just one person, the one who comes to kill One person to you He’s there to give you water, one to make you drink and the other to do your make-up. Why are you such a burden to others? He never throws a tantrum even though he knows he’s such a big star.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Piyush Mishra will be seen in the comedy Rahu Ketu, which is scheduled to release in theaters on January 16, 2026. The Vipul Vig directorial also stars Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Shalini Panday, Chunky Panday, Amit Sial, Manu Rishi Chadda and Sumit Gulati.
