I love everything about the opposite sex: Ranveer Singh

FROM Times of India

Since quite some time, actor Ranveer Singh has been in the buzz for his alleged love affair with Ram-Leela co-star Deepika Padukone. In a candid chat, the new moustache man in Mumbai, reveals more about his flirty side and tells us why he gives himself an A++ when it comes to being the perfect boyfriend.

I am an all-woman man
"I love everything about the opposite sex. Women are the most beautiful creation of nature. I am getting a lot of attention from women these days. There is a marked difference from the way ladies used to react towards me. If most women think you're hot, what more do you need?"

Romance runs in my blood
"I am a full-on romantic. I am naturally wired that way. I was born to be an aashiq. If I am in love, it's aar ya paar. I will do everything for that person. Whether it's sharing my feelings through messaging or showing physical affection. I am very expressive. I am a superb boyfriend. I'd give myself an A ++ and a golden star."(Winks)

The truth is I'm in love "When I revealed to the media that I'm in love, I was recovering from dengue and completely drugged out. I was feeling really loopy. I didn't want to reveal so much but I have no regrets. At least, I spoke the truth. I wasn't falsifying anything. I do think it was a little irresponsible of me. I shouldn't have given an interview in that state. I guess I got caught in a weak moment."

All I need is a hug and a kiss
"I don't expect much out of a relationship. My needs are very basic. I just need to be spoken to sweetly and given a lot of warmth and affection. If things like advice, support and security come from it, it's a wholesome and fantastic relationship. If they don't, I am fine with it. These things cannot be demanded. It depends partly on the level of compatibility you share with the person and partly on luck. I've had a few relationships. Sometimes, you have to work on creating an understanding and sometimes it's just there. And if it's just there, you're lucky."

Earlier, I had no faith in marriage
"Till two years ago, I had no faith in the institution of marriage. I thought it was a defunct institution and that it didn't work for modern society. But I don't know what's happened to me in the past two years. My thoughts have taken a U-turn. I am not commitment phobic anymore. Now, I feel that one can be committed to one person for his whole life. I can't wait to start a family. But I feel I am not ready yet. Since marriage is a huge responsibility, I want to achieve a few things professionally before I take the plunge."

Humour is my defence mechanism
"The term 'fun-loving' describes me best. There should always be humour and masti in the air. I don't take myself or life too seriously. In fact, I feel great ridiculing people who do. The truth is I am very sensitive and tend to get emotional about the smallest things. Since I over-extend myself in being emotionally-attached, I stay away from all things serious. It works as a defence mechanism for me. I express joy very freely but not sadness. I keep my lows to myself."

Nothing's hidden from my family
"My relationship with my father has gone through different phases but what's remained constant is my bond with my mother. I am a mama's boy. My dad was deeply involved in work when I was a child. Plus, my teenage years were full of distractions. I was into all kinds of badmashis. Surprisingly, my work has brought me closer to dad. Now, I seek his advice on a lot of things. I have become mature. My work is very demanding but I make sure I have some quality family time. I am so close to my family that they know my whereabouts by default. When we talk, there are no barriers. Nothing's hidden."

Scandal Alert!
Ranveer's best pick-up line ever: "Is that a phone in your back pocket because that a** is calling me!"


Tips to flirt well: Definitely make her laugh, smell nice and don't be cagey

Lessons learnt from life
Money and fame aren't as fascinating as they seem. They come with a price, so don't crave them. A lot of money can allow you to buy materialistic things without looking at the price tag, and it's great. But there is still a lot of charm in budgeting yourself and thinking twice before buying something.

Most of us often fail to value the simple pleasures of life. There's a certain joy in doing things like walking up to a bhelwala and eating his sukha bhel, or watching a movie in a theatre instead of at home.

If you are getting to do what you love for a living, you're really lucky.

There is no greater security than the love of your parents. Make it a point to spend time with your family even if you have a busy schedule.

Keep an open channel of communication with your parents. This will enhance your relationship with your parents, siblings, and will keep the family bond alive.

When in love, let yourself go. There's no greater feeling than being in love. Everyone should fall madly in love once in life, or you won't get to know life.

Be a great boyfriend. Make your partner feel she is the queen of the world because women truly are the best thing to have happened to this world.

Don't discuss your disappointments with everyone. Learn from them. Have the courage to move on.
