I'm still raw: Ranveer Singh

He won many-a-heart by showcasing his fresh and raw acting skills six years ago in Band Baaja Baaraat. With over 10 films to his credit now, actor Ranveer Singh says he has evolved but believes that he is still raw.

"I'm still raw... I'd like to believe. Yes, there certainly has been an evolution. I have learnt a lot of things about the craft and people management. I have become a little more responsible.

"When you are showered with so much love and affection from the fans... it becomes your responsibility to make them proud," Ranveer said. The actor says he feels immensely connected to his well-wishers and is happy that his work is being highly appreciated. But he hopes not to stagnate.

"I hope to do different stuff and never stagnate. That's really the death of an artiste, when you stagnate," he said.

The 31-year-old, who has delivered hits like Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani, also underwent a low phase when Befikre did not do well at the box office. Ranveer says one shouldn't get affected by failure.

"Fortunately, early in my career, I learnt that filmmaking is a team effort. It is a collaborative effort so the success or failure. One should not get too carried away by success and, at the same time, you cannot get too bogged down by failure. After all, it's a team effort," he said.

"So, when a film becomes successful, it's teamwork and if the film doesn't do well, maybe, the team as a collective went wrong," he added.
