The glamour industry surely gives an actor fame and success, however, sometimes they also have to go through the dark side of the industry like facing a casting couch. One such actor, who faced the casting couch in his initial days, has now become a top star in Bollywood. 

The actor we are talking about started his career with YRF and has given several iconic roles. His wife is also a superstar and they both are soon going to embrace parenthood. Yes, it is none other than Ranveer Singh. 
Ranveer Singh revealed in an interview, that he struggled for 3 years before making it big in the industry. Recalling his struggle days, the actor shared his casting couch experience. Ranveer said he was invited by a casting director to his home in Andheri and described the man as “a highly sleazy gentleman” who did not even look at his portfolio. He said, “I had worked as an assistant director and I knew that there are no takers for a 500-page portfolio. Mine was very impressive and people were intrigued enough to at least take a look at it.” 

The man went on to tell Ranveer that he has to be “smart and sexy” to move forward in showbiz. He advised Ranveer to be open to “take and touch”, however, when Ranveer said no to his demands, the man started to negotiate with him asking if he could just touch or if at least he could see. “Later I got to know what he was interested in. When I said ‘no’, he was heartbroken like a jilted lover,” the actor added. 

Well not only this, but the actor was also once thrown out of a film set for ogling at Raveena Tandon while she was shooting for ‘Tip Tip Barsa Paani’. He revealed in an interview with Rajeev Masand, “I was a boy, and I was ogling at Raveena ji. I was watching her with my eyes wide open, so she was getting a little uncomfortable. She asked one of the security guys to escort me away. For me, that was shattering. I was heartbroken that I was told to leave the set. I am almost in tears when I feel this man’s hand on my shoulders.” 

Now, Ranveer Singh is one of the highest-paid actors in Bollywood and one of the A-Listers who has given several blockbusters like Bajirao Mastani, Gully Boy, Padmaavat, and more.
