How did Ranveer Brar become an actor?
When Kareena Kapoor asked how Ranveer decided to switch his career in acting from being a Chef, he said, "Actually, I was very scared of acting. I did not even use to act in school drama with other kids. I never even did theater in school. The best I could do was read a few poems on stage. And, then I got a lot of villain roles from South movies 6 years ago.
I did not what the character would do in my real life. I feared if I became like the villain, I would be like that in real life. I was never an experienced performer. I kept on refusing. Then it was Hansal Sir (Hansal Mehta). We knew each other. He understood food. He gave me confidence saying 'Ranveer I see something in you. Do it (The Buckingham Murders)."
