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.
