Ever since he arrived on the horizon of Hindi movies, Singh has held his own. Who can forget the charming small town Munda from Saharanpur in his debut "Band Baja Baraat". Or the killer Conman from "Ladies Vs Ricky Behl" but it was under the maverick Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali  that Ranveer blossomed from the performer he's today. He was a fine actor ever since his debut but Bhansali channelized his energy and gave it direction. Remember the rustic lover from Ram-Leela or the brave warrior king of Bajirao- Mastani !

Also, the love and respect he has for his Lady, makes him even more adorable. The sweet li'l thing he does for Deepika are indeed endearing. Here's some pics of the handsome dude that will set your pulse roaring. Get set go!!!!
