- Ranveer Singh's mother revealed he shielded his family from audition rejections early on
- His father initially doubted Ranveer's film signing due to past disappointments
- Ranveer debuted in 2010 with Band Baaja Baaraat and gained acclaim with versatile roles
While Ranveer Singh is currently riding high on the success of Dhurandhar 2, some old clips of the actor before he became the megastar that he is today have been resurfacing. One of them is from Simi Garewal's chat show, where his mother shares how Ranveer Singh protected his family from the rejections and harsh comments he had to tackle during his auditions.
What Ranveer Singh's Mother Revealed
In the video that is now going viral, Ranveer Singh is seen getting teary-eyed as his mother Anju Bhavnani shared, "He would just come home and say, 'Mum, it is a bad day'. But being a mother, you realise that he is upset about something. He would shield us from a lot of what he went through at that time. Now, when he is successful, he comes and tells us the stories about what he actually did, and he protected us at that point from all the pain and rejection and comments that he had to hear. After hearing what he has to say now, you realise how much he has actually struggled, and he has come a long way."
Ranveer Singh got emotional as he heard his mother speak about him.
His father Jagjit Singh Bhavnani also shared, "As pessimistic as it may sound, I was like, let it happen, then we will see. When he told me he signed the film, I said I will only believe it when I see it because this had happened so many times before that it took time to sink in."
