Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, who is not active on any social media platform as confirmed by his father, actor Rishi Kapoor, clearly has a reason for staying away from the world of likes, shares, comments, tweets, retweets and hashtags.
While almost all Bollywood actors have their own, verified accounts and fan clubs (modesty much?), the Kapoor lad has been missing from action ever since his debut in Saawariya, some 8 years back.
God knows how well Bollywood uses the social media for promoting the movies amongst the Indian youth. With Salman Khan sharing the logo of his upcoming movie to Varun Dhawan changing his Twitter handle to include the name of his character from his upcoming movie, the stars know for sure how they can make the best possible use of social media to make a buzz for their movies. This is why we think that the absence of a superstar from such a powerful promotional tool must irk some producers.
However, being on social media is a choice, and we always thought that Ranbir Kapoor is either too busy in his professional life or is too guarded about his personal life to not mark a presence on social media.
Until now!
Thanks to Deepika Padukone, Kapoor’s ex-lover and co-worker in the upcoming movie Tamasha, we now know what has been keeping Ranbir away from the social media.
Allow us to say but it his aversion from anything technological, at least in terms of computer and internet technology, which has not allowed the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani star to be on social media.
Here is the proof, a video uploaded by Deepika Padukone during the promotion of Tamasha, which shows how far Kapoor is from anything that is related to social media.
Tamasha Instagram.com, like really?Clearly our friend here doesn't know much about social media! #Tamasha27thNovember

On a different note, this video would be a blessing for Kapoor and Padukone's fans amongst the rumours that Tamasha could be delayed.
