Ranveer Singh had a great 2018 both personally and professionally but the actor says he navigates through all the "blessings" by staying away from his own hype. The actor's flamboyant persona, his marriage with fellow actor Deepika Padukone and back-to-back hits in Padmaavat and Simmba kept him in the headlines throughout last year and Ranveer is aware how it can affect a person's outlook.

"When this happens around you, there are two possibilities - you either believe it or you are simply aware of it. While I am aware of it, I don't start believing in my own hype. My experiences have shaped me to be the kind of person I am," he says. The actor says he keeps himself grounded by constantly reminding himself of his struggle period.
