In 2018, he gave a speech at the launch of the lifestyle brand Carrera, where the host asked for a piece of advice. Ranveer shared his life philosophy regarding passion and success, which also serves as a testament to his steady rise to stardom.
What did Ranveer Singh say?
He said, "Don't be fearful, whatever it is that you are passionate about. I would say pursue it, pursue it with all your might, all your heart, because you have this one life, and you have got to make the best of it. Don't fear failure, it will happen along the way, but if you persevere enough, if you are persistent enough, you will break through, and you will do it, believe in yourself."
What did Ranveer Singh's quote mean?
Doing something you are passionate about intrinsically makes you alive. But when it comes to turning that passion into a living, many draw the line and continue to slog within their ‘comfort zone,’ even if it is something they do not enjoy. Tolerating it feels enough and worth continuing.
But tolerating is not enough, as life is finite. Ranveer Singh rightfully reminded, we all have just one life, so sometimes you do need to take a leap of faith, overcoming hesitation with inner courage. It is a natural human instinct to choose safer options for the sake of self-preservation, especially in the face of failure, the constant ‘what if it does not work out?’
However, when you commit fully and invest yourself emotionally, things can eventually fall into place. Take it from Ranveer Singh himself. Before his big break in Band Baaja Baarat, he would go to film sets not just for countless auditions, but also simply to be around actors and observe them, learn from them. This demonstrates his dedication to his craft and how persistently he pushed himself to become who he is today.
