The India Today Mind Rocks Youth Summit 2011 took off with an address by Kumar Mangalam Birla, business icon and chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, at a session appropriately called Dream Catcher.

Delivering the inaugural address, Birla said that it's not important to be born with leadership skills as it can be learnt by observation, positive attitude and determination.

Birla, who took the reins of the group-then a $2billion conglomerate-in 1995 when his father Aditya Vikram Birla suddenly passed away, said the critics had written him off, there was constant comparison with his father.

Kapoor began his speech with an unexpected confession about "never having the drive to something," having grown up "in the lap of luxury".

Moderator Koel Purie introduced Kapoor as the "super-uber successful" star of this generation, comparing his charm to that of his grandfather, Raj Kapoor, saying that both of them have the "similar quality of connecting to the people."

She went on to reveal the truth behind a glamorous world by saying that not everyone has the "patience and focus that Ranbir has".

The icing on the cake was soon after the exclusive premiere of his song Jo bhi main from his upcoming film, Rockstar when Kapoor took a cue from Shah Rukh's shirt-lifting antic at the India Today Conclave earlier this year and took off his shirt on Purie's request, all the while saying, "sorry about the chest hair I've grown". No one in the audience seemed to complain.

To a question asked by actor and TV anchor Koel Purie Rinchet, who hosted the session on cinema "Larger Than Life", about Ranbir's comparison with Khans and the Kapoor clan, he said, "There was never a moment in my life where I said this is the Eureka moment."
