Singer Anuv Jain talked about how Ranbir Kapoor’s 2015 movie Tamasha changed his life. He shared that initially, when he watched the film, he did not like it, but after years, the film started making sense for him and he fell in love with it. He shared how he could connect with Ranbir’s character in the movie, who was doing a 9 to 5 job, without really wanting to do it in life. Not only that, when Anuv met Ranbir recently and shared his life-changing moment, the actor was impressed and kissed him on his head.
During his appearance on the podcast of Ranveer Allahbadia, Anuv Jain said, “The character Ved is me. I was going to work, trying to make a difference, but I could see it was not going to happen, as my destiny and strengths were better applied elsewhere, like music. Main bohot miserable tha life mein. Dusri baar jab maine movie dekhi thi, I was contemplating changing my career to music. I saw that movie again, and the next day I put down my papers. It changed my life. I am not a crier, but when I saw Ranbir’s character come to work, maine udhase se rona shuru kiya till the end. I was just crying because I could draw so many parallels. It changed my life.”
The singer recalled his recent meeting with Ranbir Kapoor. Anuj said, “He is a tall guy, and he kissed me on my head.” He also shared that the actor was very warm and said that his wife, Alia Bhatt, often plays his songs. Jain recalled Ranbir’s words, “‘Bro, I am so happy that you feel that way about the movie.’” He added, “That made my day. He is my favourite actor. Very few times do you meet an artist who legitimately changes your life, and through his acting, he changed mine.”
