Ranvir Shorey addresses comments on not having work: ‘I can work as a labourer, spot boy on set…’ |

Ranvir Shorey recently opened up about the challenges he’s faced in securing acting roles, despite his three-decade career in the industry. While on Bigg Boss, Ranvir candidly remarked that he wouldn’t have joined the show if he had steady work lined up. He admitted that hunting for roles is tough, especially without a management team. Ranvir also shared his willingness to take on any job, even manual labuor or working as a spot boy, if acting opportunities don’t come through.
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Ranvir addressed a recent query about his Bigg Boss co-contestant Shivani Kumari‘s unfamiliarity with his work. Ranvir expressed that he understands why younger individuals might not recognize him, acknowledging that he’s not a massive star. He noted that while he’s known among a discerning audience, he hasn’t reached widespread fame.

Ranvir has made it clear that he holds no disdain for any type of work and is open to taking on roles beyond acting if opportunities become scarce. He emphasized that his statements about not receiving acting offers should not be seen as a sign of despair. Ranvir is prepared to take on various roles within the film and music industries, including working as a spot boy on set if necessary. His passion for filmmaking and music, combined with his extensive experience, ensures he can make a living in these fields and remain positive about any work that comes his way.

The actor revealed that he struggles to secure the roles he desires, even when he actively seeks them out. He speculated that his insistence on timely payments might be a reason for the lack of opportunities, as some perceive it as a negative trait. Although he acknowledges his impatience, he feels he has made progress in managing it over time. Ranvir also mentioned having consulted with therapists but doesn’t believe he requires professional help for his temper issues.

Although Shorey observes that networking plays a crucial role in securing jobs, he admits he struggles with persistently pursuing filmmakers for opportunities. He has expressed his interest in working with prominent directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali but finds the idea of repeatedly contacting them too intrusive. Ranvir fears that excessive follow-ups might come off as annoying and prefers to maintain boundaries, believing that he has done his part by making his availability known.
Ranvir Shorey is recognized for his roles in films like Bheja Fry, Khosla Ka Ghosla, and Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. He has also starred in hits such as Ek Tha Tiger and Singh is Kinng, and made notable appearances in streaming series like Hasmukh, Sacred Games, and Tabbar.
