‘Pookie Girl Dads’ Ranbir Kapoor, Yash Channel Their Inner Child During Colouring Session at Ramayana Promotions

Mumbai: Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor and Kannada superstar Yash gave fans a memorable off-screen moment during the promotions of their upcoming epic film Ramayana, taking part in a fun colouring session that showcased their playful personalities.

The actors, who play pivotal roles in one of Indian cinema's most ambitious mythological adaptations, were seen sitting together and enthusiastically colouring illustrated sheets during a promotional event. Videos and photographs from the session quickly spread across social media, with fans praising the duo's candid chemistry.

The heartwarming interaction struck a chord online, particularly because both actors are fathers to young daughters. Social media users affectionately dubbed them "pookie girl dads," suggesting that their colouring skills reflected the kind of activities they likely enjoy with their children at home.

Ranbir Kapoor, who shares daughter Raha Kapoor with actor Alia Bhatt, appeared relaxed and cheerful as he focused on the colouring activity, exchanging smiles and laughs with Yash throughout the session.

Yash, meanwhile, also embraced the playful challenge with enthusiasm. The KGF star, who is father to Ayra and Yatharv, joined Ranbir in completing the artwork, earning praise from fans for his down-to-earth and family-oriented image.

Clips from the event soon went viral across Instagram, X and other social media platforms, with many users calling the interaction "wholesome" and "the cutest promotional event of the year." Others joked that the two stars looked as though they were preparing for an art class with their daughters.

The colouring session was part of a wider promotional campaign for Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film has generated enormous anticipation for its star-studded cast, grand visual scale and retelling of the revered Indian epic.

Ranbir Kapoor is set to portray Lord Ram, while Yash will essay the role of Ravana, marking one of the most eagerly awaited on-screen face-offs in recent Indian cinema. The film also features Sai Pallavi as Sita, alongside an ensemble cast.

As promotional activities continue, the colouring session has become one of the most talked-about moments from the campaign, offering fans a refreshing glimpse of the actors beyond their larger-than-life screen personas and reinforcing the warm camaraderie between the two stars.
