New Delhi: To reach the moon you have to start from land. Similarly, the journey to stardom is never easy, be it for a Bollywood actor or a Sports personality.

If we talk about B-town hunk Ranveer Singh, the man undoubtedly is standing at epitome of success. From his first movie ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ in 2010 to 2015 blockbuster ‘Bajirao Mastani’, Ranveer has come a long way.

Though, the world only knows the ‘glamorous’ side of Bollywood and not the failures and lows, one has to face to reach the top,

Recently, Ranveer Singh spoke about the unknown side of his journey and his nature, which he has deliberately kept hidden from his fans, in a tell-all interview to Filmfare Magazine.

Here’s what he shared:

“I have had some tough life experiences. It’s not all been rosy. I have been through prolonged intense and immense emotional turbulence, financial difficulties… I have been ridiculed, faced racism and humiliation. Hence, I believe in this quote: Be kind to whoever you meet because everyone’s fighting their own battle.”

Further, when he was asked if he hides his sensitive side with his happy go lucky persona, Ranveer said:

“I believe it’s a Cancerian trait to be sensitive to the degree of it being unhealthy. To be emphatic and vulnerable to the degree, it can be detrimental. I will be difficult for me if I do not try to be happy and spread happiness. Being so sensitive isn’t good as it puts you at the mercy of the big bad world. I am an extremist, my feelings are also extreme. So yes, you are right in saying it is a defence mechanism. Also, I have this need to be liked. I hide my intelligence because I feel it alienates people. Most times, I play the fool because ‘the fool’ is more likeable and relatable. I get criticised by people around me for hiding my intelligence. (Laughs) I am almost embarrassed of it.”

So, now we know the secret of Ranveer Singh’s beaming personality and obviously the intelligent side.

These personal revelations will surely make his fans love him even more. Kudos!
