Ranveer Singh recently revealed how he learned to detach from these characters over time and got candid about learning the new technique from wifey Deepika

Ranveer Singh has earned a massive fan following owing to his impeccable acting chops. However, he has consistently acknowledged the difficulty he faces in separating himself from the characters he portrays, even long after the filming concludes. The actor particularly faced this difficulty during the making of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat (2018). Ranveer portrayed the role of Alauddin Khilji, a menacing and cruel anti-hero, and the actor delved into such profound negativity that he found it necessary to seek professional help from a psychiatrist to return to a state of ‘normalcy’.

Moreover, the actor recently revealed how he learned to detach from these characters over time. Ranveer turned candid about learning the technique and said that his wife and actor Deepika Padukone guided him on achieving a healthy work-life balance.

“In the early days especially, and until a few years ago, I hadn’t developed the mechanism to let go of the character or the emotion of the day. However, as you grow up and accumulate different tools and skills as an actor, you develop the ability to compartmentalise (the characters and emotions),” Ranveer said during an interview at the Red Sea Film Festival 2023 in Jeddah.

“It’s also something I learned from my wife. She’s a very fine artist herself, and there is a lot to learn from her as well. She’s the one from whom I picked this up, as she never brings work back home. That’s something I have cultivated by observing her. So, I am grateful to her,” he mentioned.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Ranveer was last seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, and he is currently working on Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, where he will reprise his role as Inspector Sangram Bhalerao from Simmba (2018).
