Ranveer Singh not comfortable being flirty
The actor feels his over-appreciative nature has been misunderstood my many
Ranveer Singh who is looking forward to the release of ‘Lootera’ is not really comfortable being called a flirt. The tag of being a flirt hurts him as he feels, “I am very generous with my compliments and whatever comes to my mind at that point of time, I very simply blurt it out. I tend to see the beauty in everyone and yes, I don’t back out in expressing my feelings. All these traits of mine have forced people to tag me as flirty.”
Pointing out how such a tag can be restricting, the actor shares, “Every person has an identity of his/her own, which is infinite. However, tagging any one to a particular adjective unquestionably limits him to a particular box. I am not trying to perpetuate to the tag but definitely have a problem when such tags like Casanova; flirty is added to my name. This restricts my persona to a certain category, limiting people to ponder over it.”
Not many know that Ranveer’s grandmother has worked in ‘Sohni Mahiwal’ and a few other films. Revealing this fact, he shares, “She was passionate about acting. My ‘dadi’ is the real inspiration for me to take a plunge into the filmy arena. I wish I had worn my chain, which is in the shape of a moon; ‘chand ka tukda’ (like a moon) chain was presented to me by my beloved granny. Primarily, she was a homemaker and she would run the entire household on her own. Working in films was her hobby. She was the first person who would bought me a video home system (VHS) and asked me to watch the videos and then encouraged me to dance, enact scenes. It was because of her encouraging attitude, I participated in many functions held in school and won accolades in debates, elocution contest, dance and drama.”
Taking a walk down the memory lane, he recalls, “I remember we had gone for a birthday party and she just pushed me into this prowling lawn and I had to dance to the tune of ‘Jumma chumma’ number. Just yesterday, while discussing this incident with Sonakshi (Sinha) we discovered that she too was present on this occasion. Everyone enjoyed at my cost.”
Sharing the experience of working with director Vikramaditya Motwane of ‘Lootera’, he says, “Working with Vikramaditya has made me feel that he is the next best director on the celluloid. Before Ekta Kapoor could join hands with Motwane, I was already on. He was the person with whom I interacted as he smoothly executed everything in the script. I liked his first film and he is the one who drew me to this film due to my well-sketched character. I have full faith in him.”
Adding further about his character named Varun in the film, he says, “He is a good looking, clean shaven, charming guy whose look surely gives an impression that he is the most trusted guy on this planet. Varun is the driving force of the narrative. It is a look alike character of James Dean and Dev Anand; almost an amalgamation of both. I did not have to put in much effort.”
Speaking about his co-actress, Sonkashi Sinha, he shares, “She really fits the character. Being a modern girl, her mannerisms as well as her looks and performance makes her look as though she is a chick from that era. Motwane and I would be stressed out but she would come on the sets and just get into the character. She spread an aura of coolness all around us and hence a very good outcome.” Guess, the all-praises approach of Ranveer has earned him the nametag of a flirt!
