Maine dekha hai kayi baar unko. I’m sure that he will try to do his level best. (It may or may not happen, only time will tell. Nothing can be said beforehand about anyone. But, as far as Ranbir is concerned, he is a good actor. He is an award-winning actor. From what I know about him, he is a very cultured boy. He has morals, values, and culture within him. I have seen him many times. I’m sure that he will try to do his level best.)”
