Asked who the one player was who he would never play with, he said: "She is very competitive and if I beat her, I know that I'll be hearing about it for a long time and she'll really sulk. So I think I would avoid playing with her." Langer then suggested that if Alia won, she would have a better and longer celebration than him. To which he replied, "Exactly. So, I'm screwed both ways." Reacting to her cousin's answer, Kareena Kapoor Khan wrote in Instagram Stories: "The family that kicks together; sticks together!

Talking about his love for football, Ranbir recounted: "I mean, it takes me back to school when I was in the fourth or fifth grade. I was pretty below average in everything I did, in studies, in dramatics. But when I joined the school football team, I think that's really where I found an identity, a personality for myself. I think sports really teaches us a lot in life." The 40-year-old actor added: "And I remember the first time my name came in the newspaper was because I scored a goal for Bombay Scottish for an inter-school football championship."
