Ranbir Kapoor opened up about his professional as well as personal life in an interview for a leading magazine

Ranbir lauds his contempories for taking up risky roles be it Alia Bhatt in 'Udta Punjab' and Fawad in 'Kapoor & Sons'.

When asked if he would play a homosexual on camera, Ranbir said, "Sure, but now it's already been done. Now he's (Fawad has) opened the door and it's easy for us to walk through it. But earlier I must honestly say I might have turned it down."

In February, after Ayan Mukerji's 'Dragon', he hopes to start shooting for Rajkumar Hirani's next, a biopic of actor Sanjay Dutt.

Referring to his current shoot-less days, Ranbir said, "I think I could have an alcohol problem."

"It is a visual medium and I have to look after myself. When I shoot, when I work, I don't drink. But when I'm not shooting".

Ranbir is currently living with his grandmother Krishna Raj and training for Ayan Mukerji's 'Dragon'. He awaits Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', and also has Anurag Basu's long-gestating 'Jagga Jasoos' lined up.
