Ranbir feels shy to face his parents

Ever since Ranbir Kapoor debuted with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saawariya', he has been lined with almost each heroine he has been paired opposite, Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Nargis Fakhiri and Angela Johnsson. His list of women seems never ending. He has been fed-up of his link-up stories every other day and feels shy to carry the tag of Casanova. His parents really worried about Ranbir's image and feared that it might not spoil his career. Ranbir too feels awakard to face his family after so much loose talks.

He wants to get rid of his lover boy image and has stopped socializing with friends. He cares about his family reputation and stopped dating. Ranbir said that his parents are upset about his link-up stories published very often and now he is answerable to them.

A source from the industry tells us, "Ranbir didn't really realise that his dating scene would affect him so much. He would ask out whichever girl he fancied. He forgot that he is a public figure and he cannot continue doing what he did back in college. So the media reported about every date that he we went for. This is a lesson for him to be more discreet rather than getting upset that it is being reported."

His best friend Imran Khan defended Ranbir saying, "not so clean" image. Imran had said, "If he enjoys life, wine, women... there's nothing bad about it. Ranbir's not doing anything illegal, but if media wants to write about it, you can't stop them."
