In a surprising revelation that has stunned Bollywood fans, superstar Ranbir Kapoor has confessed to maintaining a secret social media presence despite his very public aversion to platforms like Instagram. The actor made this unexpected disclosure during a recent interaction in Dubai, showing a completely different side to his carefully crafted private image.
The Finsta Confession That Shocked Fans
While most Bollywood celebrities actively cultivate their social media presence with millions of followers, Ranbir Kapoor has always stood apart as someone who values his privacy above all. However, the Animal actor recently admitted that he does engage with social media, just not in the way anyone expected.
"Not officially on Instagram. I do have a... what's that word? It's called a... Finsta. Finsta. Which is a fake Insta account," Ranbir revealed with his characteristic wit during the Dubai event. This admission immediately caught the attention of everyone present, given his well-known stance against public social media engagement.
The actor went on to explain his reasoning behind this secret account, stating that he wants to follow inspiring people from around the world without the pressure of maintaining a public profile. "You know, because there are such amazing people in the world who do such amazing inspirational stuff. So I do want to follow them," he explained.
Why Ranbir Kapoor Chooses to Stay Private Online
Ranbir elaborated on his decision to avoid official social media presence, emphasizing that his primary medium of expression remains acting. "But because I'm an actor, I didn't want to officially be on Instagram. Then I have a responsibility to really show myself off to the world. And I feel that I already have a medium, which is 'acting' and 'movies' and that's enough for me to show myself to the world," the Barfi! actor stated clearly.
This philosophy aligns with how Ranbir has conducted his career and personal life over the years, consistently choosing to let his work speak for itself rather than building a social media personality. His approach stands in stark contrast to many of his contemporaries who actively use platforms like Instagram for brand endorsements and personal updates.
The Secret Raha Reel That Nobody Has Seen
Just when fans thought the revelation couldn't get more surprising, Ranbir dropped another bombshell about his hidden Instagram activities. The actor casually mentioned that he has actually posted content on this secret account - including a precious reel featuring his daughter, Raha Kapoor.
"And on the Finsta account, I did make a reel with my daughter. But I have no followers," Ranbir said, leaving the audience both amused and intrigued by the thought of an unseen Raha reel existing somewhere in the digital universe. This revelation particularly excited fans who have been curious about the Kapoor-Bhatt family's private life.

The moment became even more entertaining when Ranbir's wife, actress Alia Bhatt, who was standing beside him during the interaction, jumped into the conversation. "Yeah, I was going to say that. He wouldn't even let me follow him," she revealed, laughing at her husband's extremely secretive social media habits.
Alia further explained Ranbir's reasoning for keeping her off his follower list, quoting him as saying, "He's like, no, because if you follow me, everyone will follow me." The Gangubai Kathiawadi actress shared that she sometimes resorts to "peeking into his phone" to see what he's up to on his mysterious account.
"He's got like all of two reels on his Finsta account that only he and maybe two people will see," Alia added, providing more context about just how private Ranbir keeps this hidden social media presence.
