Between 2021-2022, Ranveer Singh witnessed 3 consecutive unsuccessful films at the box office - 83, Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Cirkus - all of which turned out to be flops. As he recently made an appearance on the first episode of Koffee with Karan Season 8 alongside his wife, Deepika Padukone, for the first time, he shared how that period was for him as an actor.  

“I went through a lot, especially after Cirkus. Let me take you back to the pandemic. Coming out of the pandemic, we had this lovely film 83 (2021) which everybody loved. It just released at the wrong time. 48 hours before the release, we lost key markets because they all shut down due to Omicron. Unfortunately, a lovely film had the stigma of being a commercial underperformer," said Ranveer. 

He continued, “Jayeshbhai Jordaar was again, a lovely, well-intentioned film which ultimately found its audience on streaming which, in the post-pandemic climate, it’s where it belongs. In Cirkus, I had limited contribution and limited responsibility. So, I can’t really beat myself up over it. Having said that, I had not seen three major flops in a row. So, it was new to me.”

Ranveer further added that although films didn’t do well and it was very unexpected for the actor as he never faced it before. He is still grateful for everything. “I came to terms with everything that’s happening with me and around me and I’ve been fine. I have come out of it with more gratitude in my heart than ever before. I look at my life and I see blessings and abundance. I’m still here, doing what I love to do for a living. I look at my life and only see blessings," states Ranveer, who is currently basking in the success of his latest release Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which is a blockbuster.
