Ranbir Kapoor, one of Bollywood’s most private stars, has famously stayed away from official social media accounts despite their influence and revenue potential. While fans may not see him online, the actor reportedly has a secret Finsta (fake Instagram) account, which he uses to keep up with what’s happening in the digital world—discreetly.
In a recent conversation on the InControversial Podcast, popular blogger Malini Agarwal (Miss Malini) revealed an interesting tidbit about Ranbir’s online habits. She said, “Ranbir Kapoor has a Finsta and he doesn’t even let Alia follow it because it will be obvious that it’s him. He loves to watch what everyone’s doing, but he doesn’t want to be officially on social media. Everyone has tried to get him on Instagram, but he refuses. He has this fake account, nobody knows it, and he watches everything.”
Revealing Moments About Raha and Finsta
At a prior event in Dubai, Ranbir himself spoke about the account. He shared that he had posted a reel with his daughter Raha Kapoor on it. “Actually, on my Finsta account, I did make a reel with my daughter and posted it. But I have no followers, so it’s just for the air,” he said. He explained that he avoids Instagram officially because it would require him to present himself publicly: “Then I’ll have a responsibility to really show myself off to the world. I felt that acting in movies is enough for me to show myself to the world.”
Alia Bhatt, who was also present at the event, added a humorous insight: “He wouldn’t even let me follow him. He’s like, ‘no because if you follow me, everyone will follow me.’ So I’m peeking into his phone. He’s got like all of two reels on his Finsta account, which only he and maybe two people will see.”

The revelation highlights Ranbir Kapoor’s cautious approach to social media. Despite being one of the industry’s biggest stars, he maintains privacy for himself and his family, opting to observe online trends quietly without fully participating. His Finsta seems to serve as a private space where he can enjoy content, interact minimally, and maintain a sense of anonymity.
Fans have long admired his discretion, and this glimpse into his Finsta shows that while Ranbir may be selective, he still keeps a pulse on the digital world—just on his own terms.
