Ranveer told Bollywood Hungama in 2022, “I used to think that I am good looking, but then Adi sir gave me a reality check at the beginning of my career. He was like, ‘You are good looking but not in a conventional way. You are not Hrithik Roshan, so better you act well.

He said, “There’s a wonderful director friend of mine, and he met me, and he said, ‘You are so ordinary and ugly looking’.
