So much so that he has acquired the reputation of being arrogant and overconfident, if sources are to be believed.
But recently we saw the angry side of him during a function.
The Award function "Sabse Favourite Kaun' was being organized by Star Gold where both Neil Mukesh and Raj Kapoor's grandson Ranbir Kapoor were being nominated in the best debutant award category.
Everything seemed to be normal until the award was announced in favour of our ‘Sawaariya' Ranbir Kapoor. The next thing Neil did was to make a hurried exit from the function.
His temper was so high that he even ignored the media personals waiting for hours to get his quote.
Everyone expects the best, but that doesn't mean that you can run away from the truth.
The sooner he accepts that the young Kapoor is more popular with female fans, the sooner he will be ready to evolve into a professional.
And maybe rekindle the friendship that existed between their grandfathers, the legendary Mukesh and Raj Kapoor.
Neil may have won points for his acting skills, but Ranbir surely scored in terms of popularity especially among female fans. Now that's where Neil needs to work on!
