He`ll be remembered for his accurate comic timing and effortless humour in films like `Bheja Fry` and `Khosla Ka Ghosla`, but Ranvir Shorey does not think he has managed to make much of a mark in the Hindi film industry. Anyway, he has no grudges and says that sometimes things don`t work out as expected.

`I don`t think I have really made a dent in the film industry as I would have liked to. There are many reasons for that. Bollywood is not an even playing field. Under the circumstances, you do the best you can,` Ranvir told IANS on the phone from Mumbai.

But the 41-year-old has managed to come to terms with his failures, which he feels are far fewer in number than his successful blockbusters.

`Sometimes the choices you make work well and sometimes they don`t. I like to think that I have more successful films than unsuccessful films. Films which have not been received well by critics or the box office are far fewer than the ones which have done well. I hope I can continue making those kinds of wise choices,` he said.

It is safe to say that comedy is one of the `wise choices` which Ranvir has made. As long as he can balance these rib tickling roles with other meaningful ones, he is satisfied as an actor.

`I think humour is an inherent part of me. Why I keep getting more comedy roles is because I have been more successful at them. That image of comedy and me continues. I don`t have a problem with that as long as I am getting dramatic roles and I am doing well in them,` said Ranvir, who has made many laugh with his performances in films like `Singh Is Kinng` and `Chandni Chowk to China`.

He is married to Konkona Sen Sharma, but the two barely discuss their movie projects.

`It is not like she reads my scripts and I read hers. We have too many other things to worry about than to start putting double the effort in each job,` he said.

The two, along with their son Haroom, who will soon be three, love `hanging out` as a family.

`We love spending time at home with Haroom. The three of us love hanging out. We love going to friends` places for dinners, lunches. I have a great friends circle. That keeps us busy,` he said.

The actor will be seen soon in action-adventure show `Khatron Ke Khiladi 5` but said that he was warned by his wife to think about his participation.

`She is a far more cautious person than I am. She asked me to think this through if I really wanted to do this, specially now that we have a baby,` he said.

But nevertheless, Ranvir is looking forward to being a part of the show, which will help him overcome many fears, loneliness being on the top of his list.

`I think the biggest fear which I have faced in life is being alone. I don`t know if this show will be able to tap that or not. But I feel that there are plenty, which it will tap into,` he said.

With an endeavour to always try to `do something different`, the actor is also keen to venture into writing or direction.

`I am keen to start something else with acting...maybe writing or directing. I am keen as Haroom will be three in a month and will start school. I feel I should start something which involves me every day, rather than in spurts,` Ranvir said.
