Just four films old in the industry, the 27-year-old grandson of Raj Kapoor has already made a name as one of the most successful new faces in Bollywood.

After a hectic day promoting his latest film "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani", Kapoor spoke to Reuters about discovering his comic timing and why he doesn't read the newspapers every day.

Q: You've done a lot of talking today. Is there anything that you haven’t been asked?

A: (laughs) "Actually no. I think I have been asked everything about my life today. Except for whether I have cut my nails."
