Ranveer Allahbadia drops second podcast

In one of the videos, Ranveer Allahbadia spoke about how the last few months have taught him about the “glamour and facade” in the entertainment industry. He then asked Emraan if he felt the same. Reacting to it, Emraan shared, “When your chips are down, you know who your fair-weather friends are. Sab patli gali se nikal jaate hain (everybody leaves). Then you are left with the people who really matter. So when your chips are down and those who become your support, they are your friends.”

“The word `friends` is a very misused term in our industry. The people with whom you party, hobnob, gossip about the industry—woh kabhi kabhi kuch cheezein lene ke liye aate hain aapki zindagi mein (they sometimes come into your life to take things from you). I think it`s a need-based relationship; it`s not friendship. It`s all part and parcel of glamour also. When you face failures, you know who your real friends are,” he further continued, sharing how the term `friends` is misused in the entertainment industry.

Further in the chat, Ranveer can be seen discussing how the last three months were `such a shock` for him. He shared, “I was genuinely at my peak and then we crashed and burned. At this point, I`m the powder, and the powder is collecting itself to shape up again.”
