Judged for all movies, blamed for all flops. (outsider disadvantage)

Also were either resident of Bandra or regularly been seen there.


I was actually going to say the exact same thing. Ranveer, Katrina, and Sid are in this category...they're all "outsiders" but were able to mix with and surround themselves with people who have "insider" privileges. That in turn made it much easier for them to get a foothold into BW.

Exactly !! @bold is true.

RS isn't like Akki and SRK who had no resources or connections. His struggle may be more than star kids and his dad must have paid money too. What's harm in doing it if you are a millionaire?

Band Bajaa Baarat while entertaining doesn't look like it was well financed

Seems like a low budget flick. Ugly clothes and Anushka doesn't even seem like she's wearing make up 😆

yes his dad is rich, but the fact is he didn't pay for ranveer to get into yrf, ranveer has said this rumour is completely untrue, why can't people just accept that his dad did not pay? why r some people constantly trying to bring this rumour up to make people think that its true lol

the only thing rs's dad did do with his 'connections' was get rs a job at an advertising agency where ranveer worked on coming up with ideas for commercials, he did this before he went to university to the usa

and i know of many very normal families that send thier kids abroad to study, many of my family friends hav sent thier children to greece and italy to study medicine, and no they r not millionaires, they hav money saved up to send thier children to university

so this constant argument of his dad is rich and he went to usa to study really isn't something that proves that he has such strong connections that he can get any movie he wants, his parents don't hav strong connections to producers or directors, his mom is just related to anil kapoors wife, thats about it

and yes coz rs came from a rich family he got to go to a posh school in mumbai, which also was the school that some rich film industry people sent thier kids, but again does that mean he wud get movies coz he went to school with them, no

so yes no one is denying he knew of these people as he was growing up, but the only one that helped him get that part in BBB was shanoo sharma, who is a casting director, its her job to find new talent and bring them to yrf

rs got to be an assistant director for shaad ali wen he was directing commercials, i think thats the only 'filming' experience he got before entering the industry, before that rs was part of a theatre company and wud do small performances with the theatre group, sidharth malhotra was an assistant director for my name is khan, so they all had to start somewhere, do the smaller jobs to try and crack into the business

His first costar and third cousins call him an outsider.This forum calls him an insider. Take your pick.


I think he's just a rich Bombay kid with connections which sure did help him mix with the filmy people in his early years but not in a star kid capacity because KJo and his BW frat pack were happily dissing him until 2013. If he had any star kid like powers, he wouldn't be constantly made fun of by KJo almighty.

He's an outsider by my definition.
I don't know much about his family background wealth except they are very wealthy now, but they could have been poor or middle class at some time. But now they are wealthy enough for Ranveer to have access to parties where casting directors hang out.

As for the Anil connection I don't think that has anything to do with his success. If not Harsh or even Arjun would be getting all the acclaim Ranveer got after BBB.

As for attention, he gets it all by himself.

Nah I think the rumour about his Dad financing his debut was just that- A rumour. He does come from a very well-to-do/rich family but I don't think his family is THAT rich that they can go about financing films. Definitely not back then when he was a newcomer. Financing films is a whole other scale of money, so people can be rich without giving financial power to films.


He comes from a very rich family. His father is a builder and builders in Mumbai have humongous financial clout. In fact many builders put their money into film business.
