Ranveer Singh’s firm stand on his personal life’s privacy!

Rumour mills have been in overdrive with rumors of Ranveer’s relationship with actress and "Padmavati" co-star Deepika Padukone, but Ranveer Singh has always chosen not to talk about it. The actor tells he prefers to be protective about his personal life.

"The thing is I find that there is too much scrutiny anyway, and I don't want to encourage it or add to it. So, I am very protective about my personal life. I would like to protect a few aspects in my life," Ranveer said.

"I am mostly open and honest, but there are some aspects that I choose to protect and I hope people respect my decision," the actor, the lately appointed ambassador of eyewear brand Carrera, added.

The 31-year-old star has been a part of the industry for over six years and has worked in hit movies like "Band Baaja Baaraat", "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela", "Dil Dhadakne Do" and "Bajirao Mastani".

He explains his experience in the Hindi film industry as magical.

"I genuinely believe that I am living a dream. Every day when I wake up, I can hardly believe that I am a mainstream actor who works in Hindi movies. Working in mainstream Hindi films has been my dream ever since I was a little kid," he further added.

The actor, who was also lauded for his role in "Lootera", says he has learnt so much by collaborating with many talented people who have enriched his life and creativity.

"My work has been appreciated and I have learnt from the highs and, more so, from the lows. I have become more of a well-rounded person thanks to my experience," he further added.

Ranveer's next movie is "Padmavati", directed by ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The movie also features Shahid Kapoor and Deepika.

"I have learnt the maximum from him (Bhansali). He has molded me as an actor and shaped me as a creative person. He has been a tremendous influence on me. Some of the greatest learnings that I've had are by simply observing the way he goes about his work... He really is the epitome of someone who believes that the process is the prize," he told.

"It's a matter of great honor that I have been selected to be his leading man for the third time in a row. That in itself is a great achievement to me. And I hope to collaborate with him and continue to make memorable cinema," he further added.
