I was recommended for the role in 'Sharmeelee' by Sunil Dutt who admired my performance in 'Sawan Bhadon' and 'Reshma Aur Shera.' 'Sharmeelee' was a movie I did at a time when my career base was just building and back then I never expected it to become such a rage.

My father Dwarakaprasad Bedi had an electrical accessories factory in Delhi.

Ranjeet

I wasn't good-looking like the heroes. But I had a good physique having been a goalkeeper. I was like a panther.

Ranjeet

Sunil Dutt asked me, rather pushed me, to join politics.

Ranjeet

I don't like going out or attending award ceremonies.

Ranjeet

Every woman is possessive though she may not show it.

Ranjeet

Because of my negative image, people used to hate me. I remember an incident while shooting for 'Zamaanat.' I was bitten twice by a cobra and the crew went to call a lady doctor whose clinic was close to the sets. She just refused to attend to me!

Ranjeet

I like Ranchi's pleasant weather, more so because I am fond of the rainy season. Wherever I go, my visit ushers in the monsoons.

Ranjeet

I did not have a godfather.

Ranjeet

I have lived life on my own terms.

Ranjeet

In the '70s and '80s, there was a definite set of roles in a film. There would be a hero, a heroine and a villain.

Ranjeet

Since most heroes are doing villainous roles these days, that thrill is lost. Earlier, there used to be a hero, a heroine, a villain and such. The villain's entry would generate a lot of curiosity among the audience back then.

Ranjeet

Movies are the biggest entertainer in India.

Ranjeet

Thankfully, TV has given me another platform to showcase my versatility.

Ranjeet

I'm a vegetarian but not a pandit.

Ranjeet

Out of the 450-500 films that I've done, I have probably watched 10 of them.

Ranjeet

It might sound unconvincing when an actor like me who has done 500 films says that television is more competitive than movies, but that is the plain truth.

Ranjeet

I was born in in Amritsar, the eldest of the four siblings.

Ranjeet

As an actor, I should justify the role given to me. So, as a villain, my job was to make people hate me.

Ranjeet

My earnings were through evil portrayals.
