Actor Ranbir Kapoor has denied reports of engagement with rumoured girlfriend Katrina Kaif.
There were reports in a section of media that Ranbir would make a formal proposal on his birthday (September 28).
"There was a report that I am getting engaged on my birthday and there is no truth in it... I am not getting engaged or married," Ranbir told reporters here last night at the promotional event of his upcoming film 'Besharam'.
Ranbir feels scrutiny of his personal life is a part and parcel of showbiz but he would try to protect his personal space.
"When I was new in the industry I spoke openly about my relationship. I feel when you do this the spotlight is more on personal life than work. I want to protect my life. I don't want my life to become a reality show," he said.
However, Ranbir refused to clarify his relationship with Katrina.
"I am single till I get married, I think I believe in that saying. I am going very strong with this movie ('Besharam'), I am very excited about it. That is the only excitement I have in my life right now," he said.
"I am very happy with the work I am doing. I am happy in my personal life with family, friends, everything. I am not bothered with all this. I am not here to make or break an image. I am arrogant enough to know that I am a good actor and people will like me for my work," Ranbir said.
Ranbir feels his image is made by the kind of movies he does and what is written about him.
"This Casanova image is there since quite some time... So when I get married in five or ten years, the next actor after me who is single he will probably get that (tag). I am not trying to make an image, I am an actor trying to sell movies," he said.
