Ranveer Singh made his debut playing wedding planner Bittoo Sharma in Band Baaja Baaraat (2010). Twelve years and 15 films later, he’s now gearing up for the release of his social-message comedy Jayeshbhai Jordaar. The actor talks about what’s changed along the way, how he’s learnt to strike a work-life balance and what the process of becoming kinder to himself has been like:

I asked director Maneesh Sharma how you’d changed between Band Baaja Baaraat and Jayeshbhai Jordaar. He said, “Before Band Baaja Baarat released, we saw the final film for the first time at YRF. Post the screening, I asked Ranveer: Kaisi lagi? And he replied, ‘It’s not my kind of genre. I don’t know what to say, I was honestly just looking at myself. I have a lot to work on as an actor, I don’t know what the film was like.’ Maneesh said you came to Band Baaja Baarat as a fully-formed actor with the intent of excelling at your craft, and you continue to do exactly that. He said, ‘Ranveer has only added arrows to his quiver, but he’s hit the bull’s eye from day one. As a person, Ranveer has stayed super grounded and super lazy, as he has always been. People see him as an energiser bunny, but the moment he’s by himself, he’s an ode to indolence. He’s at his happiest being a couch potato, watching football or playing video games, and that hasn’t changed at all.’

I have probably never heard a more accurate interpretation of me. That’s spot-on.
