Ranvir Shorey has discussed his past relationship with Pooja Bhatt and how it impacted him. Known for his humor on Bigg Boss OTT 3, he’s forming strong bonds, notably with journalist Deepak Chaurasia.
In a recent chat, Ranvir revealed his tumultuous time during the shooting of ‘Lakshya’ in 2002, where he couldn’t leave due to his mother’s illness. He described this period, along with his personal life turmoil, as the “biggest scandal” he faced. To cope, he went to the US for an acting course, funded by his brother, returning in 2005 to resume his career with ‘The Great Indian Comedy Show’ and successful film releases.
Ranvir and Pooja had a turbulent breakup, both moving on to new relationships. He married Konkona Sen Sharma in 2010, and they share custody of their son Haroon, alternating weeks between them. Pooja herself participated in the previous season of Bigg Boss OTT, reaching the finals.
He further added, “During the same time, I also encountered the biggest scandal of my life with another actress. As I was unable to cope, my brother asked me to come to the US with him for a while. I pursued a six-month acting course in the US and borrowed money from my brother. After returning from the US, I started shooting for The Great Indian Comedy Show in 2005.
“At that time, two of my long-shelved films were greenlit for release and hit theaters back-to-back within a week and my work was loved by audiences. After those films, I finally felt my life was steady as an actor and that I had arrived.”
