NEW DELHI: Ranveer Singh, who made his acting debut in Bollywood with Yash Raj Films' 'Band Baaja Baraat' in 2010, is one of the most successful stars in the Hindi film industry today. The actor has established himself with his hard work and sheer dedication and is known for his brilliant performance in his films. Ranveer Singh is in Dubai where he attended the Filmfare Awards last night and accepted his award. 

As the actor spoke about his journey and the struggle he faced on the stage, he got emotional and almost broke down into tears. The actor discussed about the difficult time he and his family faced and how his father stood like a pillar to him and paid Rs 50,000 when he had to create a portfolio for him. 

"Do you remember, father? 12 years ago, I am going to make my portfolio. Every struggler makes a portfolio to show it to people during auditions, telling them that 'I am a good actor, please provide me work'. Portfolio's quotation was Rs 50,000. It was to be made by a big photographer. I told my father that it was way too expensive. My father said, 'Don't worry, your father is here'," Ranveer said on the stage in Hindi, while addressing his father.

Looking at you even I'll cry so please stop, you have a tissue in your purse right?"
