His grandparents had moved to Bombay from Karachi, Pakistan, during the Partition of India. He grew up with his older sister, Ritika. While Singh always aspired to be an actor, he first decided to attend the H.R. College of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai and then focused on creative writing. He went to the United States, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Telecommunications from Indiana University Bloomington in 2008. While there, he took acting classes and received a minor in theatre. He then returned to Mumbai in 2007 and began working for a few years in advertising as a copywriter. He also began going on auditions for acting projects but only received callbacks for very minor roles.
Career
In 2010, Singh auditioned for a lead role in Maneesh Sharma's "Band Baaja Baaraat," a romantic comedy. He impressed the producer and was cast for the role of Bittoo Sharma. Upon its release, the film became a sleeper hit, and Singh's performance was praised. At the annual Filmfare Awards, Singh won the award for Best Male Debut. Following that film, Singh was cast in "Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl" as Ricky Bahl, a con man who takes advantage of the girls he dates. In 2013, he appeared in the period romance "Lootera," which was an adaptation of O. Henry's short story "The Last Leaf."
Next, Singh starred opposite Deepika Padukone in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" called "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela." He played the character Ram, based on the character of Romeo. The film generated positive reviews and became Singh's biggest commercial success to date. He received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. In 2014, he starred in "Gunday," a film that did very well at the box office.
In 2015, Singh appeared in the comedy-drama, "Dil Dhadakne Do." Though the film underperformed commercially, Singh's performance received high praise. He then appeared in "Bajirao Mastani" and received rave reviews for his performance and the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. In 2016, he starred in the comedy-romance "Befikre" and then appeared in the period drama "Padmaavat" in 2018. The latter film was the most expensive Hindi film ever made at the time with a production budget of $25 million. It performed very well at the box office, grossing over $71 million. For his performance, he won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor.
At the end of 2018, Singh appeared in "Simmba," which became Singh's second top-earning Indian film of the year.
