In the last season of Koffee With Karan, Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh had come together. Akshay had revealed that whenever Ranveer goes to somebody’s wedding to perform, the Gully Boy actor is the last one to leave the function. Ranveer went on to say that he has learned everything from Akshay. The actor stated that Akshay told him that he doesn’t like money getting wasted that’s why he dances at weddings, birthdays and even at a child’s mundan ceremony (head-shaving ceremony).
Well, the wedding season has started, and Ranveer took to Instagram to inform everyone that he is available as the entertainer. The actor posted a picture of himself on Instagram and wrote, “Shaadi Season is here! Entertainer for Hire. ?? Available for events, wedding, budday party, mundane.”
This is clearly a very funny post, but the comments are funnier than the post. Ranveer’s better half, Deepika Padukone commented, “contact @deepikapadukone for bookings!??? @ranveersingh.” Ekta Kapoor also commented, “Need dulha! Who is ur manager ! Will contact ????????.”
Well, we must say that Ranveer clear knows how to be the center of attention even on social media.
Talking about Ranveer’s movies, the actor will next be seen on the big screen in ’83 which is slated to release on 10th April 2020. The movie is about India’s victory at the 1983 World Cup. It also stars Deepika Padukone. The actor also has Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Takht in his kitty.
Reportedly, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is also considering Ranveer for Baiju Bawra. Well, we won’t be surprised if the reports turn out to be true as Ranveer and SLB share a great rapport with each other and have already given three super hits together, Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat.
Romesh admits he’s aware of possible overexposure but says he chooses work based on gut feeling and quality.
He makes his West End debut opposite Sheridan Smith in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind.
The play runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 9 December to 28 February, then in Sunderland and Glasgow in March.
Romesh will play Bill, the doctor who links Susan’s real and imagined worlds.
He balances television, radio, and stage work by turning down offers he doesn’t think he can do well.
Romesh Ranganathan says he knows the word “overexposure” follows him around and he’s decided it’s a risk worth taking. The comedian, who is making his West End debut, told the BBC he deliberately turns down roles at times but will say yes when a job feels right, putting “overexposure” and the play’s pull, plus the chance to work with Sheridan Smith, at the centre of his decision. This new stage turn comes as Romesh juggles television presenting, radio, and touring stand-up, and it is also his first proper stage role since primary school.

What does Romesh mean by overexposure?
He’s not talking theory. He’s talking experience. Romesh openly acknowledges people tell him “you’re on everything,” a phrase he quotes, not hides from. His defence, though, is practical. He asks whether the project is something he’d watch, whether he can do it justice, and yes, whether there’s a fee. That’s his filter. Plain as that.

Why take the West End risk with Sheridan Smith?
Because the role felt right. Romesh will play Bill, the doctor connecting Susan’s two worlds, in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind. Sheridan Smith leads as Susan, and Romesh says working opposite her is “exciting and intimidating.” He’s honest about nerves; that’s part of the point. He wants the challenge, even if it raises his profile further.
The production runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London from 9 December until 28 February, followed by dates at Sunderland Empire and a run at Theatre Royal, Glasgow, in March 2026 (Glasgow 10–14 March; Sunderland 4–7 March). The revival is directed by Michael Longhurst and keeps close to Ayckbourn’s original while offering a fresh staging.
How Romesh is balancing television, radio, and theatre
Romesh fronts shows including Parents Evening and hosts a BBC Radio 2 slot, plus podcasts and tours. He’s selective, he says. He’ll keep doing varied work, including television, radio, and stage, but only when he feels it’s the right fit. If the public tires of him? He joked he might go and work in a café. For now, he’s stepping on stage.
