Ranveer Singh Bhavnani was born to Jagjit Singh and Anju Bhavnani on the 6th of July, 1985 in suburban Mumbai. The actor dropped his surname after entering Bollywood, since he felt that it was too long and had too many syllables.Since his childhood, Ranveer Singh has been very interested in acting, and thus he regularly participated in stage competitions during his school studies. After completing his schooling, Ranveer took admission in the H.R. College of Commerce and Economics but soon decided to drop out and focus on his career as a creative writer. Later, he moved to the U.S. and joined Indiana University to complete his B.A. (Bachelor of Arts). During his college, Ranveer took part in acting shows and related activities. In 2007, Ranveer Singh returned to India after completing his graduation and started working as a copywriter for advertising firms in Mumbai. Despite starting his work as a copywriter, he never let go of his ambition to become an actor. He regularly auditioned for all kinds of roles in movies but did not succeed in getting any major roles. The dedication and hard work of Ranveer Singh finally paid off in 2010. Finally, he got an opportunity to audition for a lead role in the movie Band Baaja Baarat produced by the Yash Raj Films. Aaditya Chopra, vice president of Yash Raj Films, was instantly impressed by Ranveer's acting skills and looks. But Maneesh Sharma, the writer, and director of Band Baaja Baarat, was unsure about casting Ranveer Singh in the movie. Therefore, Ranveer was called several times for auditions in the following weeks, and finally, Ranvir succeeded in impressing the director. The success of Band Baaja Baarat paved the way to advance the career of Ranveer Singh in Bollywood.
