New Delhi: With his performances, Ranbir Kapoor has won over everyone's hearts. His upcoming movie, Animal, is keenly anticipated by fans. However, the actor surprised everyone today by interacting with his followers and sharing many personal details, including how he handles the hostility around him.

Talking about it, Ranbir said, "Hey, I am not on social media so I don’t have to need to deal with it which is a great thing. But I feel criticism is very important especially if you are an artist and if you have some work out there I think both need to exist because then that creates a balance. You know sometimes a lot of things are written about you as an actor, a lot of opinions are made which are not necessarily true and if you take it for a pinch of salt because I this image of mine which has been created by the movies or the characters I play or by media is something that I don’t own."

He further continued, "It’s owned by the public, it’s owned by people who like my work or dislike my work and they are allowed to say anything about me as long as they give my work a chance you know as long as I can prove to them as an actor and that has always been my focus is just to act. Recently, I was reading some article about being toxic and something relating to some statement I made and I understand this. And I am on the side of the people who are fighting for the toxic masculinity, if they use me as the face of it, it’s fine because their fight is bigger than just me feeling bad about them having an opinion about what I said.”
