Entertainment – Ranbir Kapoor Politely Requests Photographers to Avoid Camera Flashes at Mumbai Airport
Entertainment – Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor was seen arriving at Mumbai airport on Tuesday evening, where he had a brief but light-hearted interaction with photographers waiting outside the terminal. As cameras continued flashing in his direction, the actor politely requested the media personnel to avoid using bright lights directly on his face, explaining that the intense flashes were making it difficult for him to see clearly.
Brief Interaction With Photographers
A video from the airport showed Ranbir walking toward the departure entrance dressed in an all-black outfit. He wore a black jacket over a black T-shirt, paired with matching trousers and dark sunglasses. Completing his appearance with a full beard, the actor slowed down for a moment to acknowledge the photographers despite appearing slightly uncomfortable because of the repeated camera flashes.
When the photographers continued taking pictures with flashlights, Ranbir smiled and remarked that he could not see properly because of the bright lights. One photographer requested him to pause for a few additional photographs. Responding in his characteristic humorous style, the actor jokingly asked what he was supposed to do by simply standing there, drawing smiles from those present before he continued toward the terminal.
Reports Link Eye Discomfort to Conjunctivitis
During the interaction, Ranbir was also seen briefly covering his eyes while walking into the airport. Although the actor has not made any public statement regarding his health, several media reports have suggested that he may have developed conjunctivitis after his daughter Raha was reportedly diagnosed with the same eye infection a few days earlier. However, there has been no official confirmation from the Kapoor family regarding the reports.
Yash Also Arrives at Mumbai Airport
Kannada star Yash was also spotted at Mumbai airport later the same evening. The actor chose a relaxed casual look featuring a dark jacket, T-shirt, matching trousers and tinted sunglasses. Unlike Ranbir’s brief stop, Yash acknowledged the photographers from a distance with a friendly greeting before entering the airport terminal without pausing for an extended photo session.
The separate airport appearances of the two actors attracted considerable attention because both are currently associated with one of the most anticipated Indian film projects in recent years.
Focus Shifts to Upcoming Ramayana
Ranbir Kapoor and Yash are preparing to share screen space in director Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious adaptation of Ramayana. In the film, Ranbir will portray Lord Ram, while Yash has been cast as Ravana. The project has generated significant interest among audiences since its announcement and is planned as a two-part cinematic release.
The makers recently introduced the film through a grand trailer launch event held in Delhi, offering audiences a first glimpse of the large-scale production. Besides Ranbir and Yash, the ensemble cast includes Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, Kunal Kapoor as Lord Indra, Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha and Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari.
With production progressing steadily and promotional activities already underway, Ramayana remains one of the most closely watched upcoming releases in Indian cinema. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor’s courteous exchange with photographers at the airport has once again highlighted the actor’s calm and composed public demeanor even during uncomfortable situations.
