Having been part of the industry since 2002, Ranvir remarked to Zoom, “Mere kismat ka tala abhi tak nahin khula hai (The fortunate door hasn’t opened for me yet), so I will wait for that moment.” Reflecting on his extensive career, he added, “Kitne films kiye hai means kitni chabiya bhi toh try ki (I have done many movies, which means I have tried those many locks). Tala toh nahin khula (It hasn’t unlocked as of now), I can tell you from my bank account.”

During the interview, when questioned about the Hindi film industry's criteria for success, Shorey stated, “In our business, I don’t think that is the sole criterion, fortunately. Ours is among the few professions where money is not the only criterion. I am very poor, but I get a lot of love and affection from the audience. I value that quite a bit.”
