Why did trolling around Ranbir Kapoor intensify?
Dr Monica believes the criticism reflects deeper public expectations rather than a direct judgment on the actor. “Public perception often follows patterns, especially when it comes to legacy families like the Kapoors. There’s a long-standing narrative that male members of the Kapoor family experience a peak followed by a slowdown, and people tend to project that pattern onto Ranbir as well,” she said.
She added that such conversations often emerge when an actor enters a transitional phase in their career. “At the moment, he appears to be going through a phase where consistency in success might feel slightly uncertain. That naturally fuels speculation and trolling. However, it’s important to understand that such phases are rarely linear. There can be dips, but they don’t define the entire trajectory.”
