Hallelujah, you mean the world isn't black and white and there CAN be a difference between being a star kid & an insider...abd these are both different from outsiders? 😲 😆

Last year he admitted to knowing Zoya Akhtar before he debuted. He said he used to go parties with her..same social circle. He went to star kids' birthday parties as a child as he knew them. Shaad Ali, the YRF director, is his friend...and Shanoo Sharma, whose been called one of the most powerful females in Bolly, he knew before becoming an actor too. Let's ignore the Anil Kapoor family connection (which btw was first revealed by Sonam...I think Ranveer would have happily continued to downplay it if she didn't reveal it..which is completely fine- he wants to use/play up the outsider tag as part of his image). These are people he knew because of his elite background...like star kids know the industry folks because of their background.

Lol it is only Ranveer fans who behave like he got some Z-grade, forgettable debut. 😆 He debuted with one of the most reputed, if not most, banners in the country...at a time when they weren't even really into launching new talent..new male talent anyways. It is more than what most get.

I'm not saying these people handed him a career on a platter ... just that he knew plenty of inside folks...and essentially like you said, let's not compare his struggles with that of people like Nawaz who legit didn't know anyone.


none of his fans r comparing his debut or struggle to nawaz or srk, those actors r a complete different story, we r talking bout how he debuted, yes yrf is a top banner but they were actually looking for new talent, they also launched anushka and parineeti around the same time, shanoo sharma was a new casting director and she was given the job to find new talent, and ranveer was one of the first talents she found

Why does it matter if someone is a outside or insider or not until they have charisma and can perform?

I swear this forum discusses every single detail but I guess that's what the purpose of a forum is so eh 😆

Hmm..It matters a lot because starkids are launched with fanfare while outsiders are facing casting couches, both male and female. It matters because it is a closed industry with a few gatekeepers. It matters most of all because of stories like Jiah Khan that we know of.

We do not have access to the best performers. A Ranveer or a Fawad is one in a million. An SRK or an Akki broke through last generation. People like Abhishek, Uday are given chance after chance. Even TV people with huge fanbases cannot get access to auditions and good scripts because they do not know people. And this is all I can think off the top of my head.

So it matters, absolutely matters if BW is to become a truly global industry.

I specified that they weren't too big into launching new talent, especially male talent, at the time. It was very new. Regardless, my main point was that it was a good debut...the biggest PH in the country, a known co-star. ...ironically better than star kids like Tiger got [though Tiger's debut showcased his strengths aptly].

Unfortunately when you keep saying 'Ranveer is an outsider, poor guy he struggled so much' ... he gets put in the same bracket as the other true blue outsiders who weren't born into those connections and made them through work. I am not saying he didn't struggle or work hard to get where he has or anything was handed to him on a platter, just that his struggle isn't as big as it is made to sound.

Instead of arguing whether he is an outsider or insider , how about we call him semi-outsider.

What I want to know is why someone as loaded as ranveer or arpita went to learners academy. Why not campion/ st. Mary's or Bombay Scottish or hell even jamnabai? No offense to folks from learners

Sorry off topic folks can go back to arguing whether or not he is an insider

Don't be surprised. This 'outsider' knew many many people in BW before he made his debut.
