Ranbir Kapoor is celebrating his birthday today, September 28, 2026, and his mother Neetu Kapoor made the occasion extra special with a pair of heartfelt Instagram Stories. The veteran actress shared a sweet selfie with her son and lovingly wished him on his special day. Her emotional words quickly caught the attention of fans, who couldn't get enough of the adorable mother-son moment.
In her first Instagram Story, Neetu addressed Ranbir by his affectionate nickname, “Rana,” and wrote, “Happy Birthday to you Rana, you are mine and I feel blessed.” The simple yet deeply personal message reflected the special bond the mother and son share. Neetu followed it up with another Story that featured a warm birthday greeting for her son, writing, “Happy Birthday Ranbir Kapoor.”
The birthday wish comes as Ranbir enjoys another busy phase in his career. The actor has several major projects lined up, but one of the biggest talking points is his much-awaited two-part epic Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Ranbir is set to portray Lord Ram in the ambitious project, with Sai Pallavi playing Sita and Yash taking on the role of Ravana.
Ranbir’s birthday celebrations have also sparked a wave of wishes across social media, with fans and members of the Kapoor family joining in to send love to the actor. From heartfelt messages to throwback moments, the internet has been buzzing with birthday posts dedicated to the Bollywood star. However, Neetu’s emotional message naturally stood out because of its personal touch.
The mother-son duo has often shared glimpses of their close relationship with fans, and Neetu’s latest birthday post was another reminder of that bond. Calling her son “Rana” instead of simply using his screen name made the message feel especially intimate. Her words, “you are mine and I feel blessed,” added an unmistakably emotional touch to what might otherwise have been a simple birthday greeting.
As Ranbir Kapoor turns another year older, his birthday arrives at an exciting point in his professional journey. With Ramayana generating considerable anticipation and other projects keeping him firmly in the Bollywood spotlight, the actor has plenty to look forward to. But amid all the movie buzz and fan celebrations, Neetu Kapoor’s loving birthday message offered a simple reminder that, for a mother, the superstar will always be her beloved “Rana.”
