In a recent interview, Ranveer Singh reacted to when Deepika Padukone had mentioned how comfortable he is in his skin.
When the now-married couple first started dating, it was apparently Deepika who had been earning more as an actor in Bollywood.
“I feel good when people tell me that I allowed the other actor to shine. That’s just who I am. I can’t be any other way. I have always been this secure person. I feel very happy for my wife when she achieves. There’s nobody prouder than me.“
-Ranveer Singh
Ranveer also added that he had come across people who follow the concept of one-upmanship. He says, “Ten years down, I still can’t believe I’m an actor. I wake up every day in disbelief that I am a Hindi film hero. And coming from that, if you don’t approach a film, a character or a collaborative creative process with honesty, it will show. If you do, that too will show. It’s when the ensemble shines that the film gets elevated. I can’t think of approaching it in any other way.“
He also spoke about how he received appreciation from Deepika too for his performance in 83! “I’m getting a lot of love and affection from my harshest critic – my best friend, my wife who makes no bones about telling me like it is whenever they have to. This time it’s unanimous. She’s very arty type, who also very rarely likes my mainstream stuff.“
Apart from Deepika, Ranveer’s mother-in-law Ujjala Padukone also complemented the actor on his performance. “This morning my mother-in-law was like I didn’t meet you properly after the screening but I waited for two days to meet you in person, to give you this. I’m receiving so much love at home. So I’m really thrilled. What greater blessing can I even ask for than my loved ones feeling proud of me,” Ranveer said.
