Whoever said obsession was a negative trait obviously had nothing to live for. Ranbir Kapoor has a few obsessions and while they might not be "healthy" according to fitness experts, they definitely sound like fun! He binges on cream cheese, ham, salami, sausages and his grandmom's delectable jungli mutton and paya and loves dining at Peter Lugers in New York because he considers their steaks the best in the world.

Well, of course food is not ALL he's obsessed with. Ranbir loves football and is a passionate fan of Barcelona. He keeps himself abreast with all that is happening with his favourite club and rarely misses a game.

Ranbir Kapoor has great respect for and is fiercely passionate about RK Studios, started by his late grandfather, Raj Kapoor and the studio where Saawariya was filmed.

 

                            

"Football is Life" ' Ranbir Kapoor

You have reached Ranbir's Soccer Zone, where you will get the hottest combination ever: Ranbir & Soccer.

Ranbir's love and passion for the sport is not a secret, his soccer skills have helped him play on a district level, without any professional training!

Besides acting he's happiest while playing soccer. But he would never trade acting for a career in soccer. Although you might see Ranbir as a coach after he retires from the film industry.

Favourite Team: Barcelona
Favourite Player: Lionel Messi

                                 

Reel Life Soccer

Ranbir gave a glimpse of his soccer skills in the movie 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'. In a song with co-actor Minisha Lamba, he stops for a game with a team playing at a near by soccer ground.

                                  

Game for Charity

In March 2008, Ranbir played a charity soccer match along with other Bollywood celebrities at Abhijeet Kadam Memorial Football Cup match in Pune.
