Bigg Boss OTT 3: Ranvir Shorey’s 5 Revelations

Ranvir
Shorey
is
among
the
strong
contenders
for
the
title
of

Bigg
Boss
OTT
3.

His
no-nonsense
attitude
and
dry
sarcasm
may
have
ruffled
a
few
feathers
but
the
fans
love
his
raw
personality
on
screen.

The
actor
has
used
the
platform
to
make
a
few
revelations
about
his
personal
life.

Namrata
Thakker
lists
them
out.

From
Earning
Six-Figure
Salary
to
Going
Broke

Ranvir
was
only
21
when
he
started
his
career
by
directing
and
producing
non-fiction
shows.
He
then
switched
to
VJ-ing.

He
revealed
on
the
show,
‘I
started
VJ-ing
for
a
big
entertainment
channel.
Things
became
tough
when
I
was
forced
to
quit
my
job
due
to
a
management
change
in
the
early
2000s.
Suddenly,
I
went
from
earning
a
six-figure
salary
a
month
to
nothing.
My
brothers
lent
me
money
to
make
ends
meet.’

Losing
his
mother

Taking
about
his
mother’s
demise,
Ranvir
shared,
‘In
2002,
when
I
was
shooting
for

Lakshya
in
Ladakh,
I
got
a
call
from
home
informing
me
that
my
mother
wasn’t
well.

‘However,
I
couldn’t
leave
the
set
as
the
shoot
was
still
going
on.
Fortunately,
when
I
returned
to
Bombay,
she
was
okay
and
discharged
from
hospital.
But
a
few
days
later,
she
passed
away
at
home.
It
remains
the
biggest
trauma
of
my
life.

‘Also,
the
difficult
part
was
informing
my
brothers
in
the
US
over
a
call.’

Biggest
scandal
of
his
life

Without
taking
any
names,
the
51
year
old
opened
up
about
his


breakup
with
actress
Pooja
Bhatt
and
told
co-contestant
Deepak
Chaurasia,
‘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
theatres
back-to-back
within
a
week.

‘My
work
was
loved
by
the
audience
and
after
those
films,
I
finally
felt
my
life
was
steady
as
an
actor
and
that
I
had
arrived.’

Co-parenting
with
Konkona
SenSharma

In
2010,
Ranvir
married
Konkona
SenSharma
after
dating
her
for
three
years.

They
welcomed
their
son
in
2011
but
sadly,
parted
ways
in
2015.
In
2020,
their
divorce
came
through.

Talking
about
co-parenting
with
his
ex,
Ranvir
revealed,
‘Ghar
par
toh
akela
main
he
hoon,
matlab
mera
beta
aadha
time

mere
saath
hota
hai,
aadha
time

apni
maa
ke
saath.
Matlab
bacche
ke
liye
joh
hota
hai
utna
he
(I
am
by
myself
at
home,
where
my
son
stays
with
me
half
the
time,
half
the
time
with
his
mother).’

As
for
his
equation
with
Konkona,
Ranvir
said
he
meets
her
only
because
of
their
13-year-old
son.

He
also
said
he
isn’t
looking
for
a
romantic
relationship
now,
as
he
is
content
with
his
work.

Being
out
of
work

On
the
very
first
night
in
the

Bigg
Boss
house,
Ranvir
admitted
to
being
out
of
work
while
chatting
with
fellow
participant
Shivani
Kumari.

‘I
am
an
actor.
I
did
my
first
film
in
1999.
If
I
had
work,
why
would
I
be
here
today?
It’s
great
for
you
guys
now
with
new
technology
—
you
can
create
your
own
work
and
earn.
But
we
are
from
the
old
generation,’
he
had
said.
