‘Was called atrangi in my school, too’

-

It won’t be wrong to say that Ranveer Singh is one of the best actors in Bollywood, but besides his acting prowess, his infectious energy as well as his quirky sense of dressing, constantly keep him in the limelight.

“In my first two years, I did not make very honest choices when it came to my fashion sensibilit­ies. I was still in the process of figuring out who I was and that reflected in my fashion choices [too]. In my early days, the concept of appreciati­on and criticism was new to me,” says the actor.

He adds that in school, too, he was called “atrangi” (different) for his appearance­s. “I remember in school too, I was called atrangi because of my Mohawk, ear piercing, baggy jeans. I have always been this way. But over time, I have been in situations where I have had the chance to reflect. I, now, no more worry about being judged or influenced by others’ opinions. I have started making choices that are authentic, especially when it comes to fashion,” shares Ranveer.

When asked if there is ever a time when he sits back, relaxes and enjoys the normalcy of not being a Bollywood actor, he says, “I do that every day. At some point when my day ends, I switch off from the world and unwind. I live a very fast-paced life, so it’s very important for me to have some downtime. It helps me keep a balance.”
