If Ranbir Kapoor is bearing the weight of expectations as a member of Bollywood's first family, he's not showing it.

Just four films old in the industry, the 27-year-old grandson of Raj Kapoor has already made a name as one of the most successful new faces in Bollywood.

After a hectic day promoting his latest film "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani", Kapoor spoke about discovering his comic timing and why he doesn't read the newspapers every day.

You've done a lot of talking today. Is there anything that you haven’t been asked?

A: (laughs) "Actually no. I think I have been asked everything about my life today. Except for whether I have cut my nails."

So have you cut your nails then?

A: (laughs) "No, I haven't. I am glad you reminded me. That's the first thing I will do now. Thanks for asking me a new question."

Now that we've got that out of the way, could you talk about your film "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani"?

A: (laughs) "Yes. First of all, this is a Rajkumar Santoshi film and I am a huge fan of him. This is a romantic comedy and has a really light tone to it. It was such a privilege to work with a director of his calibre. Raj ji's brand of comedy is like no other. I think I discovered my comic timing in this film."

You are one of the few heroes in the under-30 bracket. Do you feel that is an advantage or a disadvantage?
