In school and adolescence I was known for my outrageous fashion. I was the first to sport baggy jeans and show off the top of my briefs as a fashion statement the first to wear sports jerseys use styling gel wear chunky silver jewellery. It s how I have always been. People in my school WhatsApp group are hardly surprised; they say it s good to know I haven t changed Ranveer said in an interview to Vogue India s June 2017 issue.

For every post-apocalyptic outfit I wear I also have very normal clothes. I call it the goalkeeper syndrome: he makes nine good saves and no one comments but it s the one he misses that s remembered. I wear normal clothes all the time but it s the one time I m feeling whimsical that gets noticed.
The actor who is working on Padmavati recounted how when Band Baaja Baaraat happened stardom hit him head-on.
Suddenly I was in the limelight without the tools to cope with the attention. And when you are unsure your guard goes up. A part of that measured response was to dress conventionally. This was to continue through that initial phase of stardom. The change the empowerment ultimately came from the validation I got for my performances added the actor who got critical acclaim for Lootera and commercial acclaim for Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela in 2013.
He describes it as a turning point.
People recognised that I was good at what I did he said remembering a time when he went to a chat show wearing an Ermenegildo Zegna suit Kolhapuri chappals a fedora and retro facial hair.
I remember thinking that after a long time I looked and felt like the guy I lost somewhere along the way.
