Rishi Kapoor says the fact that aspiring actors are more focused on gymming than the craft, makes him feel disheartened.
The 65-year-old veteran actor, however, said he is in favour of joining film schools or getting trained on the sets, as he believes an actor can do well by "observing" their seniors.
"I am observing that to become an actor, people say, they want to join gym. Why join a gym? Why don't you join an institute where they teach you how to act? You must work with a good director and work in a film where you have good actors, so you should observe the actor and understand things," Rishi told PTI.
Citing example of his son, Ranbir, who worked as an assistant director on Sanjay Leela Bhasali's "Black" before making his acting debut with "Saawariya", the actor said, "Observation is a big tool for any actor. You observe and you bank it in your mind. I don't know why all these actors think going to a gym or riding horses or learning how to fight are the steps to becoming an actor. It is absolutely bulls*** and nonsense."
