Chaplin-Ranbir
Harshada Rege (DNA; January 7, 2016)

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who are allergic to getting inked, while others who are addicted to tattoos and are always planning what their next tat will be. To be honest, there is a third kind as well. Those who are not sure if they will ever get inked, but they know if and when they do, what they do want. Ranbir Kapoor falls in that category.

Ask him if he will ever get a tattoo and he is smart enough to know never to say never and says, “I don’t think so. But I have thought about it.” Not only has he thought about it, he has even decided that if he crosses over to the other side, what it will be. In fact, he almost got it done. He confesses, “I was contemplating getting it, but whoever I spoke to dissuaded me. It was an outliner of Chaplin, like a small tiny one, that’s it. But let’s see... never say never.”

Ranbir’s fascination with Chaplin is not new. He played Chalu Chaplin in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani where he did use the iconic comedian’s style and mannerisms. While filming Barfi, in which he plays a deaf and a mute guy, he confessed that he drew inspiration from Charlie Chaplin. The Kapoor lad has been a fan of the cinematic legend ever since he was a young boy. So it’s only apt that he gets the tattoo of his hero!
