Ranbir Kapoor (born September 28, 1982 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India) is an upcoming actor in Bollywood. He comes from a very well-known legendary film clan. He is the son of actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. He is the brother of Riddhima Kapoor.

His great grandfather was Prithviraj Kapoor, his grandfather was Raj Kapoor, his granduncles are Shashi Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor, his uncles are Randhir Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor and his cousins are Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and Nikhil Nanda. (see main article Kapoor Family).

Born to a family of exporters from Gujarat, Pia has been based in Mumbai all her life. She finished her schooling from Bombay Scottish and Junior College from Jai Hind in South Mumbai. In class 6; when most kids are glued to comics, cartoons and homework, she drew inspiration for modelling from her elder sister who had strutted down the ramp for a show at Tikujini Wadi, a water park at the out skirts of Mumbai. Enamoured by the overwhelming response and the unmatched attention her sister received at the show, Pia decided follow suit.

Like a good mama’s girl, she completed her studies for the next six years of her life, but never for a moment did she lose focus on her goal for modelling. In mid 2003, without anymore ado, Pia auditioned for ace choreographer Marc Robinson and the same year she waltzed up the runway at the Lakme India Fashion Week. From there on there was no looking back.

On the personal front, she is a perfect daughter to her businessman father and homely mother. A strong camaraderie exists between the two sisters as they identify with similar fundamentals of life.

Extremely sensitive to the deplorable plight of animals she vehemently refutes to buy or even wear any kind of fur and leather. An active volunteer at People for Ethical Treatment for Animals (PETA), she firmly believes that if the buying stops, the killing will too! Mostly content with the homemade dal & rice, Pia is perhaps the perfect paragon of the axiom ‘live simple, think high’
