He has been getting rave reviews for his latest venture Bajirao Mastani opposite Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra. Ranveer Singh, however, has admitted that he has had his own share of struggles in the industry and added that he had to ‘swallow pride’ in the process.
“The hustle was too long, too many bitter pills to swallow. You have to swallow your pride and have to grovel a bit. Times, however, are changing. Things are getting more streamlined, there is much more straightforward approach, things are cleaning up. It isn’t too far-fetched an idea that someone who doesn’t come with lineage or legacy can get a foothold in the industry.”
