Recently, the actor added another honour to that list as he was awarded at an event in Dubai for his contribution to Indian cinema, and as he went to the stage to pick the award, he just broke down into tears. Ranveer Singh recalled his struggle days and how his father and mother helped him get through them and were instrumental in him reaching to the place that he is at today.

Ranveer’s parents were sitting in the audience when the actor welled up and said, “Aapko yaad hai papa, barah saal pehle, mein koshish kar raha tha aur mein portfolio banane ja raha tha… socha apna calling card leke jayenge aur dikhayenge ki bhaiya mein hoon naya actor, please mujhe kaam do. Portfolio ka quotation aaya ₹50,000… bola ke acha wala banayenge, bade photographer se banayenge. Meine bola papa ₹50,000 bohut expensive hai toh papa ne bola ‘fikar mat kar beta tera papa betha hai yahan pe’ (Remember papa, 12 years ago I was trying to get my portfolio made to take to people and ask them for work. The portfolio would cost ₹50,000, which I thought was a lot, but my father asked me not to worry and said he will help me).”

Not just that, Ranveer also recalled confiding in his mother before starting off his journey into showbiz. He said, “Aapko yaad hai mummy chote wale ghar mein… mera audition bohut kharab gaya tha phir mein wapas aya from the airport, I was bawling, I was crying… and said ‘mumma mere ko pata nahi mera jo ye sapna hai kabhi pura hoga ke nahi’ (remember mom, when we used to live in the smaller house, I gave a bad audition and came to you crying, asking if I will ever realise my dream of becoming an actor).”
