AWARD-WINNING actor Ranveer Singh has risen through the ranks to become one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. The popular hero of high-profile films has a number of dedicated admirers including Pooja Patel from USA, who runs a fan club dedicated to him. Eastern Eye caught up with her to find out more...

What made you set up the fan club?

Ranveer Singh is the reason why the fan club Ranveer Planet exists. Words can’t describe how much he inspires me. He never fails to make my day better. I wanted to create a place that Ranveerians could call home.

Tell us about your fan club?

Ranveer Planet is the place to get all the daily updates, photos, videos and more. We show love and support for him and make fans unite.

What has been your memorable moment?

There have been many. But I still can’t forget the day when Ranveer followed my fan club back. It was such a priceless moment.

What is the best thing you like about him? 

The best thing about Ranveer is that he is just himself. He is a very special human being. He literally remembers all of his fans when he meets them and treats them all like family. I have never seen any celebrity who treats his fans with so much love and respect. Ranveer has a heart full of love.

What is your favourite work Ranveer has done?

Bajirao Mastani is Ranveer’s best to date. Nobody could have done justice to this role in that film except him. He didn’t just play the role of Bajirao, he lived it.

Tell us an interesting fact about Ranveer...

After completing his studies and returning to Mumbai in 2007, Ranveer worked for a few years in advertising as a copywriter. He then worked as an assistant director, but left to pursue acting.

What is your definition of a true fan? 

A true fan is someone who stands behind his idol through thick and thin.

Brian Wilson: 6 genres that prove he was more than just a 'Beach Boy'

Brian Wilson, who died this week aged 82, is best remembered as the sonic architect of the Beach Boys and the laid-back "California sound" that swept the world in the 1960s. But to stop there would be to miss the scale of his ambition. Behind the striped shirts and sun-soaked harmonies was a composer and producer who transformed pop music, often by refusing to stay in one genre.

From symphonic pop to soul and psychedelia, Wilson built bridges between styles that rarely met. Here’s a look at six genres that define his legacy and show how much more there was to the man who gave us Good Vibrations.

Arjun Rampal says Rauf in 'Rana Naidu' is the most ruthless role of his career

Arjun Rampal has stepped into a deeply unsettling place with his portrayal of Rauf in Netflix’s Rana Naidu season 2. The actor, known for playing intense characters, says this role was unlike anything he’s done before.

“He’s the most terrifyingly real character I’ve ever played,” Rampal said. Rauf is unpredictable, violent, and entirely devoid of empathy, yet not completely soulless. What sets him apart is a surprising emotional sliver: the fierce love he holds for his niece. “She’s the only one he protects without question,” he explained. “It’s the only time you see something human in him.”
