Ranveer
Singh
Says
Good
Opportunities
Were
Hard
To
Come
By
When
He
Stepped
In
Showbiz
Ranveer
was
quoted
as
saying,
"My
struggle
period
was
not
easy
at
all.
There
was
recession
going
on
at
that
time,
and
the
movie
business
was
not
very
prolific
so,
people
were
making
fewer
films.
Therefore,
opportunities
for
actors
were
far
lesser
as
compared
to
today.
We
didn't
even
have
any
of
the
web,
or
OTT
platforms.
So,
good
opportunities
were
hard
to
come
by."
Ranveer
Singh
Opens
Up
About
His
Struggling
Period
He
continued,
"For
close
to
3.5
years,
I
was
just
groping
in
the
dark,
attempting
various
avenues,
trying
to
get
a
break,
endeavouring
to
get
my
foot
in
the
door,
doing
rounds
of
various
offices
with
my
portfolio,
looking
for
work,
but
not
knowing
whether
it
will
ever
happen
at
all.
It
was
very
far-fetched
for
someone
in
my
position
to
think
that
I'd
get
a
big
opportunity
as
a
performer,
to
act
as
a
lead
[actor]
in
Hindi
films.
The
chance
was
one
in
a
million
but
I
still
went
for
it.
With
the
love,
blessings,
sacrifices
and
support
of
my
amazing
parents,
I
mustered
up
the
fortitude
to
keep
going.
I
was
hungry
and,
at
times,
foolish
but
also
very
persistent."
Ranveer
Singh
Looks
Back
At
His
Journey
"I
was
21
when
I
started
trying
my
luck
and
at
24,
it
worked
out
for
me
in
a
spectacular
fashion.
I
feel
those
tales
are
surely
memoir-worthy.
I
almost
debuted
in
a
small
role
in
Patiala
House,
and
nearly
did
some
small
budget
films
that
Anurag
sir
was
directly/indirectly
affiliated
with.
Today,
both,
Nikkhil
sir
and
Anurag
sir
are
probably
as
astounded
as
I
am
about
how
things
started
[for
me]
and
how
they
have
worked
out,"
Ranveer
told
Hindustan
Times.
Ranveer
Singh
Says
He
Gets
Goosebumps
When
He
Thinks
About
The
Biggest
Milestone
Of
His
Career
Ranveer
told
the
daily,
"The
biggest
milestone
of
them
all
has
to
be
when
I
got
selected
for
my
first
film.
That
moment
is
simply
unforgettable.
I
get
goose-bumps
even
now
when
I
think
about
it.
For
somebody
like
me,
who
comes
from
the
kind
of
background
that
I
do,
to
get
such
a
big
break
was
beyond
my
wildest
imagination.
These
are
the
stuff
dreams
are
made
of.
After
that
one
incredible
twist
of
fate,
it's
been
a
journey
of
learning,
growing
and
evolving
as
a
creative
person,
a
performer
and
also
a
public
figure."
Ranveer
Singh
On
Completing
10
Years
In
Bollywood
"With
each
passing
year
and
every
film,
I
have
learnt
something
more
about
the
craft,
about
myself,
and
I
have
always
tried
to
keep
bettering
myself
and
improving
my
set
of
skills.
With
every
film
and
character,
I
hope
to
keep
exploring
myself
a
little
more.
Hopefully,
somewhere
along
the
way,
in
the
course
of
‘becoming' other
people,
I'll
be
able
to
understand
myself
better.
Honestly,
every
experience
and
film
has
left
me
a
little
more
enriched.
So,
I'm
extremely
grateful
for
each
and
every
opportunity,"
the
actor
was
quoted
as
saying.
