“During the same time, I also encountered the biggest scandal of my life with another actress. As I was unable to cope, my brother asked me to come to the US with him for a while. I pursued a six-month acting course in the US and borrowed money from my brother. After returning from the US, I started shooting for The Great Indian Comedy Show in 2005," said Ranvir Shorey.
"At that time, two of my long-shelved films were greenlit for release and hit theaters back-to-back within a week and my work was loved by audiences. After those films, I finally felt my life was steady as an actor and that I had arrived," he added.

In a conversation with news agency ANI, Ranvir Shorey had said, "I had great regard for Mr Bhatt (Mahesh Bhatt) till the fiasco happened when I was seeing his daughter (Pooja Bhatt). Then I saw that actually whatever respect I had for him was being used to manipulate me… very duplicitous behaviour going on.”
In 2010, Ranvir Shorey married actress Konkona Sen Sharma, and the duo welcomed a son Haroon in 2011.
The couple however separated in 2015. The duo now share their son's custody.
