Meet actor, who was expelled from school due to Shah Rukh Khan, worked as content writer, now owns Rs 245 crore; His name is...
We are talking about actor Ranveer Singh. His entry into Bollywood was not easy. It was difficult for him to get into movies. Though he was a die-hard fan of acting and dancing, he used to participate in several school plays and debates. Why did Ranveer Singh get expelled from school?
One day, in his school classroom, he was listening to the song ' Chaiyya Chaiyya' from Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora's film ' Dil Se '. When teachers got to know about this, he was suspended from school. How did Ranveer Singh get into Bollywood?
Ranveer Singh completed his Bachelor's in Arts degree in Telecommunications from Indiana University Bloomington in 2008. At the university, he decided to take acting classes and took up theatre as his minor.
He worked for a few years in an advertising company as a copywriter, with agencies like O&M and J. Walter Thompson. Ranveer Singh has also worked as an assistant director but left it to pursue acting.
Singh then decided to send his portfolio to the directors. For this, he would go for all kinds of auditions, but did not get any good opportunities, while only getting calls for minor roles. He had once said, 'Everything was so bleak. It was very frustrating. There were times I would think whether I was doing the right thing or not.' How did Ranveer Singh get his first role?
It was 2010 when Ranveer Singh auditioned for a lead role in YRF's Band Baaja Baaraat. Aditya Chopra was impressed with his audition, and he was confirmed to play Bittoo Sharma, who was opposite Anushka Sharma. Life changed for Ranveer soon after that as he signed movies like Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Lootera, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Gunday, Dil Dhadakne Do, Bajirao Mastani, to name a few. He became a superstar. What is Ranveer Singh's Net Worth?
According to The Times of India, CNBC TV18, and ABP Live , Ranveer Singh's fee has increased to Rs 50 crore after the success of his film 83. His net worth is reportedly around Rs 245 crore.
Ranveer, who became a father to a daughter last year, will be seen in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar. The spy-actioner will be released in December.

Prada, Crocs, now Birkenstock: Why these shoemakers are in the news
Three global footwear giants - Prada, Crocs, and Birkenstock - have found themselves making headlines in India, though not for the reasons they might have intended. From legal crackdowns on counterfeits to cultural backlash over design appropriation, these brands have found themselves at the centre of courtrooms, cultural conversations, and CRACKS DOWN ON COUNTERFEITSGerman footwear brand Birkenstock has launched a major legal offensive in India to tackle the sale and manufacture of counterfeit products. According to a report in Reuters, court-appointed lawyers recently inspected several small-scale factories in and around Agra and New Delhi, seizing products allegedly mimicking the brand's popular raids stem from a lawsuit Birkenstock filed in May at the Delhi High Court, naming four footwear traders, four factories, and two unnamed individuals. The company claimed that fake versions of its products were being produced and distributed both locally and abroad. On May 26, Justice Saurabh Banerjee issued a confidential order - made public only last week - appointing 10 local lawyers as commissioners to visit the suspected sites. The judge allowed the seizure of suspected counterfeit goods and noted that the samples shown in court appeared to be "cheap knock-offs" that could easily mislead customers."There is all likelihood of the public getting deceived... The differences, hardly if any, are not something which can be discernable to the naked eyes," the order once popular among hippies and medical professionals, has surged back into pop culture - especially after Margot Robbie wore a pair of pink Birkenstocks in the final scene of the 2023 blockbuster Barbie. In India, the brand's women's footwear is priced between $46 (Rs 3950) and $233 (Rs 20,010), making it a premium choice in a mostly non-luxury market. (Photo credit: Birkenstock Attitudes) The case is scheduled for its next hearing on October 6. Reuters reported that Birkenstock and its legal team declined to comment, citing the ongoing REVIVES 9-YEAR-OLD LEGAL BATTLEMeanwhile, Crocs Inc. is making a return to the courtroom as well. On July 2, a court revived a nine-year-old lawsuit that the US-based company filed against several Indian shoemakers - including Bata India, Relaxo, and Liberty - over alleged design accused these companies of copying the distinctive shape of its rubber clogs, which have developed a cult following globally since the brand's launch in 2002. While the suit was dismissed in 2019 on technical grounds, a recent appeal saw the Delhi High Court ruling that "the dismissal... cannot sustain in law", allowing Crocs to proceed with its challenge. Crocs accused Indian shoemakers, including Bata India, Relaxo, and Liberty, of copying the distinctive shape of its rubber clogs. (PEXELS) Crocs had originally asked the court to stop its rivals from manufacturing and selling what it called "obvious imitations" of its design. Liberty, one of the defendants, has argued that Crocs itself is not the originator of the clog style, claiming the design existed long revival of the case highlights the increasingly contested nature of intellectual property in India's $33.86 billion (Rs. 2.83 lakh crore) footwear market, where 97% of sales come from the non-luxury CONTROVERSYWhile Birkenstock and Crocs are navigating courts, Italian luxury house Prada is battling criticism on cultural brand triggered a storm last week after showcasing open-toe leather sandals at its Milan fashion show that bore a striking resemblance to Kolhapuri chappals - traditional Indian footwear with centuries-old heritage. Critics on social media and lawmakers accused Prada of failing to acknowledge the Indian origins of the design. Prada triggered a storm after showcasing open-toe leather sandals at its Milan fashion show that bore a striking resemblance to Kolhapuri chappals. (Reuters) In response, Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada's head of corporate social responsibility, sent a letter to the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, acknowledging that the sandals were indeed inspired by "traditional Indian handcrafted footwear." He added that the design is still in early stages and that Prada is open to future engagement with Indian company spokesperson reiterated the brand's commitment to "craftsmanship, heritage and design traditions."While Prada's men's leather sandals are priced upwards of $844 (Rs 72,485), Kolhapuris typically sell for around $12 (Rs 1,030) in Indian markets - underscoring the vast gap between global luxury and local artisan acknowledgement has drawn mixed reactions. Sambhaji Chhatrapati, a descendant of the Kolhapur royal family, said artisans deserved credit for "the history and heritage of 150 years." Others, like Kolhapur-based businessman Dileep More, viewed it as a positive moment of global recognition: "They are happy that someone is recognising their work."- EndsTrending Reel

'So much overthinking': Fans rubbish Ranveer-Deepika tiff rumours after no post from her on his birthday, Dhurandhar
Actor Ranveer Singh turned 40 on June 6. The actor surprised his fans by releasing the first look glimpse of his upcoming film Dhurandhar, which saw him in an action-packed avatar. However, Reddit noticed that Deepika Padukone did not wish her husband on social media, nor did she post any reaction to the first look of Dhurandhar. Fans of the actor have come out in defence, saying that such nitpicking is truly unnecessary. (Also read: 'Proud of you queen': Ranveer Singh cheers for Deepika Padukone as she receives star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame) Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone fans reacted to rumours of a tiff between them. Fans defend Ranveer and Deepika A Reddit user posted on the platform, claiming that Deepika did not post anything on Ranveer's birthday or his first look from Dhurandhar. However, Ranveer is always public in his support for Deepika. 'Maybe she should appreciate her husband a little,' read the post. Reacting to the post, several fans came to the actor-couple's defence in the comments. A fan commented, 'So much overthinking here, I had a relationship where I was very vocal on social media about my partner but he wasn't. Behind closed doors he financially supported me to get my first job, my career stands on his support. So was I really a better partner to him or just that we were different?' A second fan wrote, 'I think we are giving way too much weightage to what these celebrities are doing on social media. People who are reasonably happy don't even post that often about their lives.' 'People's relationships aren't defined by public social media posts' A comment read, 'Woh apna khud ka movie ka trailer same day post nahi karti (She never promotes her own films on the same day). She does it a day or two later. Usually their bday anniversary photos come much later. But they make sure they spend their special days together ultimately that's what matters. And also it's not compulsory that they have to display everything on social media. If they want they can, if they don't that's also fine. This bday is definitely extra special , first bday of Ranveer as dad.' 'People's relationships aren't defined by public social media posts. Grow up!' read a second comment. A fan also added, 'In my opinion, the most happiest & secure of people do not indulge in social media at all. It's only the unhappy & insecure ones who feel the need to update their status & give us content & talk about other people.' Last week, Deepika made history by receiving her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ranveer took to Instagram to share a proud and emotional tribute to his wife. Meanwhile, the first look video of Dhurandhar sparked a buzz on social media. The film is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar. The film is led by Ranveer Singh and features Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. It will release in theatres on December 12.
