Actor Ranveer Singh is known for his livewire energy and unmatched screen presence and recently he made a lot of buzz regarding his nude photoshoot for Paper magazine. Despite being so active and energetic in real life as well as on screen, Ranveer doesn't really feel the need to perform better than others.
In a recent interview, the actor stated that he isn't competitive by nature and doesn't really believe in one-upmanship. He told PTI, "I am not a competitive actor at all. I have a theatre background and they teach you at a very early stage in your training… Some of the foundations of that kind of training are constituted by the ethos of collaborativeness. What I have learnt and not just in my training but from the 12 years that I spent acting in films is that you are only as good as your co-actor… It takes two to tango."
He further added, "I don’t subscribe to one-upmanship, upstaging. I have had, unfortunately or fortunately, co-actor experiences where they have tried one-upmanship and trying to upstage and hogging limelight in the frame as they say. I don’t subscribe to that. I think it is very defeating…"
Ranveer concluded by saying, "Filmmaking is teamwork and scene work is a collaboration between actors. It’s like jugalbandi, it is like give and take. On the flip side, I have also experienced the good side… (With) the actors who are so secure, so giving and my wife is certainly one of them."
