Ranveer Singh, who recently attended the Marrakech International Film Festival, during a media interaction there, opened up on his Bollywood journey. The actor also addressed the topic of casting couch during the media interaction, international magazine Deadline stated. The actor, recalling his ordeal with casting couch, said, "This guy calls me to this seedy place and is like, 'Are you a hard worker, or a smart worker?'. I didn't consider myself to be smart, so I said: 'I think I'm a hard worker.' He was like, 'Darling, be smart, be sexy'. I had all those kinds of experiences during those three-and-a-half years, and I think it was that period that makes me value the opportunities I have now," stated the Deadline article.
