Ranbir Kapoor turned a day older yesterday, September 28. The actor celebrated his 44th birthday with the paparazzi outside his new Mumbai home by cutting 3 cakes. Ranbir, who is currently gearing up for the release of director Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1, also starring Sai Pallavi as Sita and KGF fame Yash as Ravana, has opened up about his skincare routine. Unlike popular claims by experts, Ranbir has admitted that he does not use a moisturiser or sunscreen.

Despite ditching the 2 products, Ranbir makes sure to take good care of his skin. The actor even mentioned a skincare tip offered by Alia, which he is still sceptical about. Back in 2023, Ranbir attended a book launch event with his mother, veteran actress Neetu Kapoor, where he talked about his beauty regimen.

Ranbir revealed that he dips his face in ice water to avoid tanning. But Alia recommends that he incorporate yoga in his daily routine. As per the actress, performing yoga every day can really make your skin glow and look healthier. ‘Alia is really pushing me to do yoga. She said it reflects on your skin,’ said Ranbir, adding that he, however, isn’t sure whether it works or not.

But it seems like Ranbir is actually following Alia’s recommendation. Celebrity fitness trainer Shivohaam disclosed that Ranbir indulged in yoga and breathing exercises to embody the calmness and personality of Lord Ram in Ramayana.

Shivohaam, in an interview with Pankaj Sharma on his YouTube channel, noted that Ranbir worked on his breathing and incorporated asanas while understanding ancient scriptures and the backstory. Experts were called in to teach him how to sit in a correct posture and carry himself like Lord Ram.

In other news, Ramayana also stars Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lord Lakshman, with Rakul Preet Singh essaying Surpanakha. The film will be released in 2 parts: the first part is scheduled to premiere on Diwali 2026, while the second part is scheduled for Diwali 2027.

Apart from Ramayana, Ranbir is also part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, opposite Alia and Vicky Kaushal
