Get to know... Ranveer Brar

Currently, I am

Resting and recovering from an injury.

The birth of my son, Ishaan.

Low point in life

The loss of my grandmother when I was seven. She made a huge impact on me and I wish we had more time together.

On my playlist

One thing I would never buy

Super expensive cars.

Today I’m craving

Gulab jamun. Big ones, stuffed with dry fruits.

Last thing I ordered online

A Summilux 50 camera lens.

App I check before bed

ESPN. I follow the NBA religiously.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

Lose whatever caution you have and go full tilt.

My favourite subject in school

Geography. It was fascinating to learn about the planets, and our land.

I’d swipe right on

Good music.

My secret skill

I can sculpt with clay and wood.

A superpower I wish I had

To be able to extract more time from the day.

My plans for next Sunday

Once I’m better, I hope to take Ishaan out for a long drive.

My most star-struck moment

Meeting Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati. For the first five minutes I was numb with excitement.

My favourite bad habit

Sweets.

If I could travel back or forward in time

I’d spend more time with my grandmother.

The best thing about fame

The love, warmth and kindness from the world.

The worst thing about fame

Sometimes you want a little privacy and can’t get it.
