Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh is all set to make his tv debut as the host of ‘The Big Picture’. At the launch event of the show, Ranveer was asked about Deepika Padukone’s reaction to his tv debut.
Ranveer said, “Deepika always has constructive criticism for me, which I take very positively. I showed her my mock sessions, she gave me some tips and raised some very good points. I noted those points and imbibed them. I am really grateful that I have a sharp wife as a partner, who enhances my work through her constructive criticism.”
He further adds, “We often discuss each other’s work. I am really grateful that I have such a great insight into the arts, the performance, and all these things (Pointing out at the Big Picture visual). Deepika has given me some tips and I am working on them. And, hopefully, with her love and support, I will be able to impress everyone.”
Talking about the reach of television Ranveer shared, “Television is a very powerful medium and it may be helping artists to reach various parts of the world. People, who don’t watch your films, watch you on television. I have grown up watching television. Whatever I have learned and understood is from TV. ‘Idiot box dekhkar main khud idiot ban gaya hoon,'” he joked.
He further adds, “There is a television screen at every home and through it, I am getting a chance to reach out to every house. I am really grateful that I can get an opportunity to entertain that many people across the country. So, I understand the power of television. I am grateful for this opportunity that television gave me,”
When asked if he chose TV because films were not working during the pandemic, Ranveer said, “Foraying into television was an independent decision and did not enter it because films were on a downward spiral due to the pandemic. He also praised the OTT vertical, which is booming and excitedly shared that the theatres are opening up, and requested everyone to watch his films,” concluded Ranveer.
