Ranveer has become one of the biggest names in the film industry with his exemplary performances in each of his films. He further said that the journey to the top has not been an easy one for him. However, he speaks of his struggling days with immense fondness. He said, “Those years have given me some of the fondest memories of my life. Things are flying at the moment, but I will always remember the time when there was none of it; when I used to be staring at the bottom of the barrel not knowing whether that phone is ever going to ring, or if I will ever get a break."

He further added about the lessons he learnt from the rejections and said, “Through the harsh lessons, disappointments, humiliation, rejection, one has to find something within him that keeps him going. For me, they were two things. One, I was passionate about acting, and wasn’t pursuing it for money or fame. Two, self-belief; I had to keep telling myself, You’re good, you have to believe so because if you’re good and persistent, something will happen.’ Today, I value every opportunity."

Ranveer will be next seen in Kabir Khan’s ’83 in which he is playing the role of former cricketer and Indian captain Kapil Dev. The film is based on India’s first World Cup win of 1983. The film also stars Deepika Padukone who is playing the role of Kapil’s wife Romi Dev in the film.
