Not here to Joke Around, Admits 'Mature' Ranveer

Ranveer Singh has been a part of Bollywood for around five years with his first movie Band Baja Baaraat. He is known throughout the industry for his cheerful personality and lively character. But he feels that he is “oversensitive” and a “very serious” person.

Ranveer stated, “I like to be in a cheerful atmosphere. While I like when people joke and there’s laughter, the truth is that I’m a very serious and an oversensitive person. Also, I’m very emotional, but it gets very heavy to be like that on a daily basis. Slowly, I’ve been noticing a change in myself. I have become mature, especially in the last one year. I am not just here to joke or fool around”.

He feels that his role in Bajirao Mastani has made him more serious. “My jovial nature is slowly waning. I guess it’s to do with the fact that I am getting older. I turned 30 recently. Also, the character that I am playing in my next is very mature. So, it’s (the change) happening organically”. He added, “I am evolving as a person, and it’s a good thing. I am embracing [the change] and not fighting it. I used to resist it when I was 26-27, but not anymore. I feel more responsible now”.
