The 'Band Baaja Baaraat' actor—who made his Bollywood debut under the Yash Raj Films banner—has risen to fame over the years. From his faultless portrayal of an aspiring rapper from the slums of Dharavi in Gully Boy to his promising performance in epic movies such as Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, Ranveer Singh has won the heart of the audiences with his back-to-back box office blockbusters.
With an impressive 35+ million following on Instagram, he enjoys a prime position in the Indian film industry and happens to be one of the leading actors alongside his contemporaries. In fact, on his 36th birthday, the actor announced that he will be collaborating with Dharma Productions for his upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, alongside Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi.
Besides his fine acting, the celebrity has put his best fashion foot forward—making bold and eccentric sartorial choices—and has grown to become a beacon of hope for proponents of androgynous fashion. However, we must make it a point to clarify that Ranveer Singh was certainly not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. It is through sheer hard work and dedication that the actor has created a niche for himself.
While we are well-acquainted with his professional accomplishments and quirky style, take a look at a few photographs from his younger, struggling days.
