LIFE AND
EDUCATION
Singh was born on 6 July 1985 into
a Sindhi family in Mumbai, to Anju and Jagjit Singh Bhavnani.His grandparents
moved to Mumbai from Karachi, Sindh,
in present-day Pakistan, during the Partition of India. He
has an elder sister named Ritika Bhavnani. Singh is the maternal third cousin of actress Sonam Kapoor daughter of actor Anil Kapoor and wife Sunita Kapoor (née Bhavnani). Singh
explains that he dropped his surname Bhavnani, since he felt that the name would
have been "too long, too many syllables", thus downplaying his brand
as a "saleable commodity".
Singh always aspired to be an actor,
participating in several school plays and debates. Once when he had gone for a birthday party, his
grandmother asked him to dance and entertain her. Singh remembers that he
suddenly jumped in the lawn and started dancing to the song "Chumma
Chumma" from the 1991 action film, Hum. He felt the thrill of performing and was
interested in acting and dancing.However, after he joined H.R. College of
Commerce and Economics in Mumbai, Singh realised that getting a
break in the film industry was not at all easy, as it was mostly people with a
film background who got these opportunities. Feeling that the idea of acting
was "too far-fetched", Singh focused on creative writing. He went
to the United States where he received his
Bachelor of Arts degree from Indiana University.
At the
university, he decided to take acting classes and took up theatre as his minor. After completing his studies and returning to Mumbai in
2007, Singh worked for a few years in advertising as a copywriter, with
agencies like O&M and J. Walter Thompson. He
then worked as an assistant director, but left it to pursue acting. He then
decided to send his portfolio to directors. He would go for all kinds of
auditions, but did not get any good opportunities, while only getting calls for
minor roles: "Everything was so bleak. It was very frustrating. There were
times I would think whether I was doing the right thing or not.
CARRIER
In January 2010, Singh was called for an
audition by Shanoo Sharma, the head of the casting division for Yash Raj Films. They informed him that it was for a lead
role in their film titled Band Baaja Baaraat,
a romantic comedy set
in the world of wedding planning. Aditya Chopra, the vice president of the company, later saw
the audition tapes on video and was impressed by Singh's acting, and decided
that he fit the part of Bittoo Sharma, the hero of the film. However, the director Maneesh Sharma needed some more convincing and he was called
for a few more auditions over the next two weeks until they were completely
convinced of his caliber. After the two weeks of testing, Singh was
confirmed for the role of Bittoo, with Anushka Sharma playing the female lead.
Singh described the role of Bittoo Sharma as
a typical Delhi boy To prepare for the role, he spent time with students at
the Delhi Universitycampus. Prior
to the release of the film, trade analysts were skeptical of the film's
commercial potential, citing the middling response to Yash Raj Films' last few productions, the lack of a male star and the fact that the female lead, Anushka Sharma,
was by then an "almost-forgotten" actress. However, Band
Baaja Baaraat went on to become a sleeper hit. Singh's portrayal of Bittoo was praised,
with Anupama Chopra of NDTV writing
that Singh was "pitch perfect in the role of the uncouth but good-hearted
small town slacker who is a bit of a duffer when it comes to matters of the
heart." The film earned approximately ₹214
million (US$3.0 million) at the domestic box office. At the 56th Filmfare Awards, Singh won the award for Best Male Debut.
Following Band Baaja Baarat,
Singh signed on for Ladies vs Ricky Bahl,
a romantic comedy produced by Chopra and directed by Maneesh Sharma. He played
a conman Ricky Bahl who cons girls for a living but finally meets his match.
The film co-starred Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra, Dipannita Sharma and Aditi Sharma. According to Singh, the title character had
various avatars in the film, including a chirpy, entertaining side and a
sinister side. Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India wrote,
"Ranveer is, well Ranveer: your average Joe kind of hero who looks
convincing enough as Sunny, Deven, Iqbal, Ricky, his sundry avatars." Commercially, Ladies
vs Ricky Bahl earned ₹370 million(US$5.1 million)
domestically.
Singh's next release was Lootera (2013), a period romance, written and
directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, and
co-starring Sonakshi Sinha. An
adaptation of O. Henry's short story The Last Leaf, Lootera was critically
acclaimed. Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN wrote that Singh "brings a quiet sensitivity
to Varun, and occasionally a smoldering intensity. Offering a finely
internalized performance, he leaves a lasting impression." However, Lootera performed
poorly at the box office.
Singh next starred opposite Deepika Padukone in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's
adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, entitled Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela,
in which he played Ram, a Gujarati boy based on the character of Romeo.
Bhansali was impressed by Singh's performance in Band Baaja Baaraat and
decided to cast him for the film. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leelagenerated
positive reviews from critics, as did Singh's performance. Writing for India Today, Rohit Khilnani commented that "Singh has
everything going for him here. His Bollywood hero entry scene lying down on a
bike in the song 'Tattad Tattad' is outstanding. He learnt a new language to
better his performance for the character Ram and it paid off. In his fourth
film he has the presence of a star." The film emerged as Singh's biggest commercial
success, with worldwide revenues of ₹2.02 billion(US$28 million). For
his portrayal, he received several recognitions, including a Best Actor nomination
at Filmfare.
In 2014, Singh starred as a Bengali criminal
in Ali Abbas Zafar's Gunday, alongside Arjun Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Irrfan Khan. David Chute of Variety praised
Singh's screen presence and wrote that he "tucks the movie's center of
interest under his arm and takes it with him — even though he has the
could-be-thankless "good brother" role". Also, Singh's
chemistry with Kapoor was considered by critic Rohit Khilnani to the prime
asset of the film. Gunday proved to be Singh's biggest box office
opener, and eventually emerged a box-office success with a revenue of ₹1 billion (US$14 million) worldwide. After
a cameo appearance in Finding Fanny, Singh starred as a gangster in Shaad Ali's unsuccessful crime drama Kill Dil opposite Parineeti Chopra and Ali Zafar and received negative reviews.
In Zoya Akhtar's ensemble comedy-drama Dil Dhadakne Do (2015), Singh starred with Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah and Priyanka Chopra as the younger sibling
of a dysfunctional Punjabi business family who aspires to become a pilot.
Writing for Mumbai Mirror, Kunal Guha found Singh
to be the "surprise element" of the film; he praised his
"immaculate comic timing" and took note of his subtlety Commercially,
the film underperformed. Singh next reunited with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in
the period romance Bajirao Mastani (2015), opposite Deepika Padukone and
Priyanka Chopra. He portrayed Bajirao I, for which he shaved his head and to prepare, he
locked himself in a hotel room for 21 days. Raja Senwrote that Singh "brings his character to life
and does so with both machismo and grace", and commended him for his
perfecting his character's gait and accent. The film earned ₹3.5 billion (US$49 million) to become one of
the highest-grossing
Indian films, and garnered Singh the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.
In 2016, Singh starred in Aditya Chopra's
comedy-romance Befikre opposite Vaani Kapoor. He played Dharam Gulati, a stand-up comic whose
romantic liaisons with Kapoor's character leads to conflict between them. Set
in Paris, Befikre marked the fourth project to be directed by
Chopra.]Singh performed a nude scene for it, a rare
occurrence in an Indian film. Jay Weissberg of Variety found the
film to be an "overly energetic twist on the old friends with benefits
theme" and criticised Singh's "manic behavior". It underperformed
at the box office.
After a year-long absence from the screen,
Singh portrayed Alauddin Khilji, a
ruthless Muslim king, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama Padmaavat (2018), co-starring Deepika Padukone
and Shahid Kapoor, which marked his third
collaboration with Bhansali and Padukone. Right-wing Hindu groups speculated that the film
distorted historical facts, and issued violent threats against the cast and
crew. The film's release was deferred and was allowed for exhibition after
several modifications were made to it. Ankur Pathak of HuffPost criticised the film's misogynistic and
regressive themes, but praised Singh for his "astute brilliance" in
depicting Khilji's bisexuality. Rajeev Masand opined that he "plays
the part with the sort of grotesque flamboyance that makes it hard to look at
anyone or anything else when he’s on the screen".=Padmaavat's production budget
of ₹2 billion(US$28 million) made it
the most expensive
Hindi film ever made at that time. With a worldwide gross of
over ₹5.7 billion (US$79 million), it
ranks as Singh's highest-grossing release and is among India cinema's biggest
grossers. He won the Filmfare Critics
Award for Best Actor (shared with Ayushmann Khurrana for Andhadhun) and gained a Best Actor nomination at the
ceremony.
In the same year, Singh played a corrupt
policeman in Rohit Shetty's action comedy Simmba, based on the Telugu-language film Temper(2015), co-starring Sara Ali Khan and Sonu Sood. Despite disliking the film, Uday Bhatia
of Mint credited
Singh for playing his "cardboard creation" of a character with an
"underlying sweetness that renders it more winsome than the humourless
masculinity of Devgn's Singham".With
worldwide earnings of ₹4 billion (US$56 million), Simmba emerged
as Singh's second top-earning Indian film of 2018.
Singh next reteamed with Zoya Akhtar in Gully Boy (2019), a musical inspired by the life of
the street rappers Divine and Naezy. Singh found little in common with his character of a
poor man who aspires to become a rapper, and in preparation he underwent acting
workshops and spent time with both Divine and Naezy. He performed his own rap
songs and was pleased that the film brought attention to India's underground
music scene. The film premiered at the 69th Berlin
International Film Festival. Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reportercommended
him for displaying a "pleasingly full emotional range that extends to
drama and hip-hop" and writing for Film Companion, Baradwaj Rangan praised his ghetto accent and found his
understated performance to be a "superb showreel for his range".
As of February 2019, Singh has committed to
portray the cricketer Kapil Dev in '83,
a sports film based on the 1983 Cricket World Cup,
and to portray the Mughal prince Dara Shikoh in Karan Johar's historical drama Takht, which
features an ensemble cast including Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, and Vicky Kaushal.
Singh began dating Deepika Padukone, his
co-star in Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, in August 2012. In
October 2018, the couple announced their impending marriage. The following
month, they married in traditional Konkani Hindu and Sikh Anand Karaj(Singh's paternal grandfather is Sikh ceremonies at Lake Como,
Italy.
Singh has appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity
100 list since 2014, peaking at the eighth position in 2018. That
year, the magazine estimated his annual earnings to be ₹846.7
million (US$12 million) and ranked him as the fifth
highest-paid actor in the country. He was also featured by GQ in their listing of the 50 most influential young
Indians of 2019 and last but not the least I will end up with these words now Ranveer Singh is fine
actor and best human being.
