The Indian actor Ranvir Shorey opened up on many aspects of his life during his long stay in the house of Bigg Boss as he was the second runner-up. Ranvir Shorey not only talked about co-parenting his son with his ex-wife Konkona Sen Sharma but also opened up on his affair with the senior actress Pooja Bhatt as well as the lack of work.
Presently, Ranvir Shorey is getting praised for his performance in the web series Shekhar Home which released on 14 August and stars Kay Kay Menon in the lead role.
During a promotional event, Kay Kay Menon was asked whether he watched Bigg Boss OTT 3 in which Ranvir participated as they both are good friends. Kay Kay replied in negative, saying that he neither watched Bigg Boss nor he wanted to watch Ranvir on BB because he would have caught him acting as he knows Ranvir very well.
In the words of Kay Kay Menon, “Having said that, I didn’t need to watch Bigg Boss to see Ranvir. We’ve spent enough time together before the show happened to him. Another reason is that I knew I would catch him acting on Bigg Boss OTT. I know him too well.”
When he was asked about Ranvir’s statement on not getting enough work, Menon said that it was during the pre-pandemic era and he also faced such situation. He said, “This was before the OTT boom. It had to do with the fact that in cinema and the films that we see in theatres, the scope for people and actors like us had reduced.”
He also praised actors like him and Manoj Bajpayee for not giving up even in tough situation, he said, “All through our lives, we had no choice but to play villains or something along those lines. People like me and Manoj are ziddi. We’re just obstinate! We continued our journey through it all. There were perhaps actors more talented than us who fell by the wayside because they didn’t have the tenacity to hold on. So, when OTT platforms came in where stars didn’t work but only actors, opportunities blossomed.”
He further added, “That lull will keep happening. I don’t think Sachin has scored a century in every match he played. He has scored a zero as well, in spite of being Sachin Tendulkar. As long as you’re able to assess yourself honestly as an actor, you should be satisfied. You have to believe that if you’re good enough, offers will come.”
