When Ranbir, Nargis and Imtiaz ran away to the fields of Punjab!!

Team Rockstar aka Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri and director Imtiaz Ali spent some quality time with nature as the trio shared some fun moments amongst the lush green fields of Punjab recently, all by themselves!

After meeting the students of a local university in Jalandhar, the team who has been traveling on an exciting road trip across Punjab had a little time to themselves before their next venture.


So we hear that Rockstar Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis and Imtiaz took off to the fields on Jalandar all by themselves without their security team, assistants and other staff!

We hear that an excited Nargis was running around chasing grass hoppers and taking in the sights of the beautiful green fields...Imtiaz disappeared to some place to soak in the peace... and Ranbir spent time sitting on the muddy grass surrounded by acres of land all around with cows chewing on their supper, breezy weather, totally isolated from the madness!

Says Ranbir, "We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful time in the rustic atmosphere. It was really nice and we all felt alive being so close to nature! We had the most fantastic time in Punjab and I want tothank everyone for the warm welcome and the love and the support given to team Rockstar!"

Why Ranbir Kapoor doesn't have a nickname

Imtiaz Ali’s fourth film as a director, Rockstar, is gearing up for a November 11 release. It revolves around the 10-year metamorphosis of Janardan Jakar into rockstar Jordan. Talking about the transition, Ranbir Kapoor, who plays the lead, points out that to start with, his character is an
immature Jat boy from Pitampura in Delhi, studying in Hindu College.


“The girl (played by debutant Nargis Fakhri) he loves gives him the name Jordan. And because he’s a little bit of a wannabe, he finds it cool. Eventually, that’s the name the world knows him by, which in a way, not only epitomises his musical journey, but is also an homage to his love story,” points out Ranbir.


Ask the 27-year Bollywood star if he was known by any other name during his ‘growing’ years and Ranbir retorts, “Our family has a history of funny pet names so when I was born, they consciously decided not to saddle me with one. Some friends called me Randy, which like Jordan, was a pretty wannabe name, but unlike Janardan, I didn’t like it much.”


The actor, who’s a household name now, admits that when he was in the US studying method acting at The Lee Strasberg Theatre And Film Institute in New York, Americans had a problem pronouncing his name. He smiles, “I got them to get it right by miming, ‘run’ and ‘beer’. It always worked.”

Video - Catch Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri romance in ‘Tum Ho’ song

They were fun to watch in the song Katiya Karoon and now you can see their passionate side in Tum Ho song from Rockstar. Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri, the new ‘it’ couple of silver screen, will woo the audience with their fresh, tender and passionate romance.

The composition Tum Ho in the voice of Mohit Chauhan is the most-talked about track in the movie as it features romance between Ranbir and Nargis in its passionate form. The song is beautifully shot in Delhi and abroad. And it’s quite unlike the song Katiya Karoon where lovers are seen having fun moments. The somber melodious track Tum Ho is undoubtedly in the league of AR Rahman’s romantic hits like Kehna Hi Kya from ‘Bombay’, and Yeh Haseen Vadiyan from ‘Roza’.

After watching the video many would be in awe of the model Nargis Fakhri. Now, we understand why Ranbir Kapoor and director Imtiaz Ali can’t stop singing praises of the actress. Ranbir even said that Nargis is the big asset in the film, while Imtiaz feels she has a charismatic on-screen persona.

Here is the video of the song Tum Ho from ‘Rockstar’. Watch it and tell us what you feel about Ranbir and Nargis’ on-screen romance. We love it!

From Deepika Padukone to Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra to Nargis Fakhri, actor Ranbir Kapoor has been linked with several pretty women in the Bollywood. Though it is difficult to say who among them is Ranbir's beloved, Headlines Today surely found his mommy Neetu Kapoor's favourite.

Nargis -- Ranbir's Rockstar female lead and rumoured girlfriend -- was spotted embracing his mum Neetu as the movie crew hosted a surprise birthday bash for the Kapoor lad.

However, what actually surprised the shutterbugs was Ranbir's guest list. While Nargis was busy scoring brownie points with Neetu, it was Ranbir's past flame Deepika who sent shockwaves amongst shutterbugs as she stepped in, looking gorgeous as ever.

It was interesting to note that Deepika arrived without her rumoured love interest Siddharth Mallya.

Rishi, Neetu Kapoor like Nargis Fakhri

Even before they knew she was part of Ranbir's film, his parents Rishi and Neetu Kapoor were captivated by Nargis Fakhri.

Nargis Fakhri has been constantly linked with Ranbir Kapoor ever since she was signed for the film Rockstar . But not many people know that even Ranbir's parents, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor have a liking for Nargis.

When she had just begun filming with Ranbir, Nargis found herself in a rather funny situation with her co-star's parents. The team had just commenced shooting in Delhi and Ranbir's parents – Rishi and Neetu Kapoor had come to visit the team on the sets. They were staying at the same hotel where Ranbir, Nargis and the other crew were put up.

Incidentally, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor were catching up with Imtiaz in the hotel lobby on arrival when they spotted a beautiful girl sitting across the hall, talking to someone. They were so captivated by her ethereal beauty and good looks that they immediately drew Imtiaz's attention towards the girl and exclaimed that such a pretty girl should consider making a career in Bollywood.

Imitiaz chuckled, telling Rishi and Neetu that she is indeed making her debut in Bollywood, and that too opposite their son Ranbir! That's when the Kapoor couple realized that the girl sitting in front of them was Nargis Fakhri! An amused Imitaz immediately called Nargis over and introduced her to the senior actors.

Later when the incident was narrated to Ranbir, they all shared a good laugh over it!
