Ranveer finds awards questionable?

Actor Ranveer Singh, who has been attending numerous award functions of late, says that sometimes he is not so sure about them.

"Sometimes I find awards questionable. At times I get surprised looking at the winners' list... at times it glares out to me as well, but it's all subjective. For me, awards means live performance and I love live performances," Ranveer told IANS.



This year, Ranveer's "Ram-leela" got nominations, but his "Lootera" was snubbed.

Just like his co-star Sonakshi Sinha, he too is disappointed that the period love saga was not nominated despite getting critical acclaim.

He said: "It is very disappointing that the technical team of 'Lootera' didn't get their due credit. 'Lootera' is technically one of the superior films of Hindi cinema.
"I would rate 'Lootera' more than 'Ram-leela' as 'Ram-leela' was easier for me to do, while Lootera was tougher. I am proud of 'Lootera'. It's a timeless film. It's sad that 'Lootera' went unnoticed by many."

After the success of "Ram-leela", Ranveer will be next seen in "Gunday" and currently he is busy promoting the action thriller.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the drama, set in 1970s Kolkata, will see Ranveer teaming up with Arjun Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.

Ranveer Singh sidesteps queries on Deepika Padukone

 

 

Actor Ranveer Singh who has been linked with his 'Ram Leela' co-star Deepika Padukone for a while, kept parrying questions on his rumoured affair with the actress during an interaction with media here on his film 'Gunday' and asked them to focus on the upcoming release.

Deepika, who turned 28 on January 5 apparently spent her birthday with Ranveer and the couple was spotted together in New York.

Last evening, when Ranveer turned up for the press conference of 'Gunday', the media kept asking questions about Deepika and their reported outing together.

For a while, Ranveer stayed mum and let his 'Gunday' co-star Arjun Kapoor and director Ali Abbas do the speaking. Both answered the constant queries on Ranveer's behalf sportingly.

Ranveer too took some questions on romance and said, "Love is truly in the air I am in love with my team and releasing the film on the day of love. I am proud of my team."

But when the media kept badgering him on his personal life, the exasperated actor said, "Focus on 'Gunday'."

"It is action drama film... YRF is producing it, starring Arjun, Priyanka and myself and is directed by Ali Abbas. It releases on February 14... do come and watch it. Next question please."

However when curious reporters refused to relent, he seemed to lose his cool and asked, "What is this happening, is this the 'Gunday' film press conference or my interrogation."

Recently, Deepika too evaded questions on Ranveer on Karan Johar's chat show 'Koffee with Karan' when she was asked about her supposed boyfriend and instead asked, "Am I dating him?".
