Ranveer’s Fabulous Career Looks Promising This Year
The year that went by has been fabulous for Ranveer Singh. This year too looks promising. After the massive success of Simmba, Ranveer has been continuously promoting his upcoming film Gully Boy that hits the silver screen this week. The film’s song Apna Time Aayega continues to be a chartbuster, we ask Ranveer if he feels his time has come. “My reward is that I have become an actor today. But, my time is yet to come. It is just the beginning,” pat comes the reply.
But it is indeed a good time for the 33-year-old actor who has been giving one massive hit after another. “My hard work has finally paid off. My philosophy in life has been to work hard and not expect anything. I go to the film sets every day and get a chance to show my acting talent. I feel getting to work with great artists and directors is a big thing for me. I am enjoying the process where I enjoy and learn. Whether the film turns out to be a hit or not, I must get the fulfilment of doing my best,” says Ranveer while admitting that fame does come his way for being an actor.
While all looks good at the moment, what were his struggles in the beginning?
“Mumbai is a city where people come from all over the country with dreams and it’s a struggle. But, I have been brought up here in Mumbai itself though even I had to struggle for three-and-a-half years before getting a break. I had just finished my studies and had returned from America and didn’t have a job. Financially, every family goes through ups and downs. The recession had also set in but my hopes were never low. I just moved ahead and worked hard knowing fully well that my time will come,” says Ranveer.
The actor’s rapping skills have taken the nation by storm. The actor admits that he can’t sing but rapping is a different ballgame.
“I can’t sing but rap is different and I can rap. Zoya recognised that I am musically inclined. During my earlier days, I would read out the text inscribed on the cassettes in rapping style. I listen to music from the morning and always have music box by my side, especially when I am getting ready or travelling in the car,” he says. When asked how different is their taste in music considering their personalities, Ranveer says: “Both Deepika and I like music. I like hard, angst and aggressive songs, which she doesn’t like but I like what she listens to… together we both listen to Coldplay and other popular songs.” Deccan Chronicle Feedback: jyotip@ fijisun.com. fj
