"So when I grew older, if I used to drive to shoots or if I had something that I was really nervous about and if I saw a white car, for example - if the number plate was 4040 or 2222, I used to add them up and if it added to number 8, I used to think I'm gonna kill it... It gave me confidence, psychological of course but it really worked for me," he adds.

Ranbir also reveals a strange belief from his childhood. He shares that while on his way to school if he saw a red truck he would cross his fingers, shut his mouth and make a wish. He would not uncross his fingers until he sees three black cars on the roads. He continued this till his wishes stopped coming true.
