. Bollywood star Ranveer Singh has emerged synonymous with these adjectives, and he says it’s the “Take it easy” policy that helps him to live each day as if it’s his last.
“I have an immense love for life, I have a great zeal for life, I have a great lust for life, you could say, and therefore I live every day like it’s my last and I do everything like it’s either the first time I’m doing it or the last time I’m doing it. So, I really go after it with everything I’ve got,” said Ranveer.
“I try and live in the moment as much as possible, and I think essentially that might very well be the secret of my energy – high energy,” he said, flashing his pearly whites and looking cool in a pair of funky shades.
Often, due to this perception about Ranveer and his ability to take over a stage whenever he performs live or makes an appearance on a TV show, one would think he is a better performer than an actor — even though one knows how he has showcased his versatility across films as varied as a Band Baaja Baaraat, Lootera, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Gunday, Dil Dhadakne Do and Bajirao Mastani.
His next big screen outing is Befikre. And the title reflects his own personality in a way.
“Life in the fast lane can be very stressful, of course, show business can be very stressful, but I’ve learnt that as a manipulator of one’s moods, as an actor, as a performer, on a daily basis, you’re manipulating your moods. So as a general rule of thumb, I try and keep things light. I like to smile a lot, laugh a lot, joke a lot.
“I like to have a convivial, sort of jovial atmosphere in my life, whenever I’m working. I think that’s very important. It’s good for health also,” said the actor, who not just gets a kick in the morning when he brushes his teeth, but also with a hot cup of coffee.
“I believe in the philosophy, in this deep philosophy of this most famous song, ‘Take it easy policy’. Take it easy is the best policy,” he said.
