Ranbir Kapoor has had an eventful 2022 - he got married to the love of his life, actor Alia Bhatt, had a daughter Raha, and saw two of his long-awaited films Shamshera and Brahmastra: Part One-Siva finally hitting the marquee. Currently, Ranbir is excited about his new movie, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (TJMM), which releases today. It's a genre, rom-com, that Ranbir knows best and has delivered some of the greatest hits of his career. With Ranbir going back to his romantic avatar, The Free Press Journal caught up with him to speak about the movie, romance, and more. Excerpts:

You resonate with pain in romance on screen. Is there a method or it comes naturally to you?

I remember, when I was doing Saawariya with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he told me that I have sad eyes. Even if I don't do any movement in front of the camera and sit with a dead face, I would look sad. I guess, it is also because of my eye bone structure or droopy eyes, perhaps. I guess crying comes naturally to me since I don't have a laugh, so laughing on screen is difficult for me.
