Ranveer Singh Age 2026: How Old Is the Dhurandhar Star?

Last updated: November 5, 2026  ·  By Nathan Cole

Ranveer Singh is 41 years old. He was born on 6 July 1985 in Bombay, now Mumbai, and he turned 41 on 6 July 2026. He turns 42 on 6 July 2027. If you want the number with no caveats, that is it: 41, as of November 2026.

The caveat is worth knowing, because it explains why a search still turns up pages saying 40. Any page updated before 6 July 2026 correctly listed him at 40. Pages that still say 40 in November 2026 are stale — they were written before his birthday and never refreshed. One competitor bio still carries 40 in its quick table under a 2026 label. The birth date itself is not in dispute: Wikipedia, Pinkvilla, Filmibeat, and the July 2026 birthday coverage all agree on 6 July 1985, and no credible source offers a different year.

This profile answers the age question first and then earns the rest: the age he was at every career milestone, from a 25-year-old debutant to a 40-year-old carrying India’s biggest film franchise; the marriage and fatherhood timeline; the Dhurandhar peak that made 40 and 41 the biggest years of his career; and the money, height, and next projects, with the stale figures corrected along the way.

The Short Answer: 41 Years Old, Born 6 July 1985

Ranveer Singh was born Ranveer Singh Bhavnani on 6 July 1985 in Bombay. The arithmetic is simple: 2026 minus 1985 is 41, and his birthday in July has already passed, so 41 is his completed age for the rest of 2026. As of 5 November 2026, he is 41 years and nearly four months old. He will turn 42 on 6 July 2027.

His zodiac sign is Cancer, for readers who check that first. His birth fell on a Saturday, a detail the birthday-chart pages love and the rest of us can safely ignore. What matters for the age question is the July birthday: anyone who followed his career through the first half of 2026 saw him at 40, and anyone checking after 6 July 2026 should see 41. The confusion in search results is a calendar problem, not a mystery about his birth year.

One more number helps place him: he is about six months older than his wife, Deepika Padukone, who was born on 5 January 1986 and turned 40 in January 2026. The couple spent most of 2026 as a 40-and-41 pair, and will be 41 and 42 together after her birthday in January 2027.

Early Life: Bandra, H.R. College, and Indiana University

Singh was born into a Sindhi family in Bombay to Anju and Jagjit Singh Bhavnani. His grandparents moved from Karachi to Bombay during the Partition of India, a family history he has spoken about in interviews. He spent his first fifteen years in Bandra — school, family, friends, all in the same neighbourhood — before moving across the city to H.R. College of Commerce and Economics at Churchgate.

Acting was the early ambition: school plays and debates filled his childhood. At H.R. College, the ambition met reality. Breaking into films looked like a closed shop, mostly open to people with film backgrounds, so Singh turned to his second interest, creative writing, and went to the United States. He graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunications, taking theatre as his minor and acting classes on the side. The degree was the backup plan; the acting classes were the tell.

Back in Mumbai, he worked for a few years as a copywriter at advertising agencies O&M and J. Walter Thompson. It was steady, creative work, and it kept him close to the film world without being in it. In January 2010, Shanoo Sharma, head of casting at Yash Raj Films, called him in to audition for a romantic comedy called Band Baaja Baaraat. He was 24 at the audition and 25 when the film released in December 2010. The outsider with the advertising job was suddenly a Yash Raj hero.

Ranveer Singh’s Age at Every Career Milestone

Singh’s career reads cleanly as an age timeline, because he debuted young and has never had a long fallow stretch. The table below pins his age to the moments that defined each phase.

The pattern worth noting: his two biggest commercial years arrived at 40 and 41, not in his twenties. Most Bollywood leading men peak early and defend the position; Singh’s box-office peak, by the trade numbers, is happening right now.

The Breakthrough Years: 25 to 33

Band Baaja Baaraat made Singh, at 25, the rare outsider launched as a solo hero by Yash Raj Films. He played Bittoo Sharma, a Delhi wedding planner, opposite Anushka Sharma, and the film’s commercial success plus the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut gave him something most debutants never get: a second film on his own terms. Ladies vs Ricky Bahl followed in 2011, when he was 26.

Age 28 was the hinge year. In 2013 he played the conflicted thief in Lootera and the hot-headed Ram in Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film where he met Deepika Padukone. The two films showed opposite skills — restraint in one, full-throttle energy in the other — and the pairing with Bhansali became the spine of his thirties. Gunday came at 29 in 2014, and then 2015, at 30, brought Dil Dhadakne Do and Bajirao Mastani, the latter earning him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor as the Maratha warrior Peshwa Bajirao I.

His 32nd and 33rd years stacked three defining performances: Alauddin Khalji in Padmaavat (January 2018), the corrupt-turned-hero cop in Simmba (December 2018), and the street rapper Murad in Gully Boy (February 2019, still 33), which brought a second Filmfare Best Actor award. By the time he turned 34 in July 2019, he had played a wedding planner, a thief, a warrior king, a sultan, a cop, and a rapper — a range that explains why directors kept betting on him into his forties.

Marriage and Fatherhood: The Deepika Years

Singh married Deepika Padukone on 14–15 November 2018 at Lake Como, Italy, in Konkani and Sindhi ceremonies. He was 33; she was 32. The wedding closed a relationship that began on the Ram-Leela set in 2012–13, when he was 27 and 28, and it made them Bollywood’s most-tracked couple — a status Pinkvilla’s March 2026 love-story piece marked by noting they had been together for 13 years and married for seven.

Fatherhood arrived at 39. Their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, was born on 8 September 2024, and she turned two on 8 September 2026. Singh was 39 at her birth and 41 at her second birthday — a late-thirties father by Bollywood standards, and the timing matters for the next section: the biggest commercial run of his career opened fifteen months after he became a father, not before it.

The age gap question comes up constantly, so here it is plainly: Singh, born 6 July 1985, is about six months older than Padukone, born 5 January 1986. She turned 40 in January 2026; he turned 41 in July 2026. There is no ten-year gap, no May-December story — just two stars born six months apart who married at 32 and 33.

The Dhurandhar Peak at 40 and 41

Singh turned 40 in July 2025. Five months later, on 5 December 2025, Aditya Dhar’s spy action thriller Dhurandhar released — and it did not behave like a normal hit. Bollywood Hungama’s box-office tables put the first film’s India net collection at roughly Rs 896 crore, and Sacnilk-derived totals reported by STV National in November 2026 put its worldwide gross above Rs 1,307 crore, despite a Hindi-only release and bans in the Gulf states and Pakistan.

The sequel moved faster. Dhurandhar: The Revenge released on 19 March 2026, when Singh was still 40, and Bollywood Hungama reported a historic first day of Rs 75 crore in India, rising to a Rs 100 crore single day inside its opening weekend — a figure trade experts were still citing in November 2026 as the benchmark Ramayana would have to beat. The sequel’s India net collection passed Rs 1,108 crore in Bollywood Hungama’s crore-club tables, and the Sacnilk-derived worldwide total crossed Rs 1,712 crore. Combined, the franchise passed Rs 3,019 crore worldwide, making it India’s highest-grossing film series by that measure, and the only Indian series with both instalments individually past Rs 1,000 crore worldwide.

The awards followed the money. At IIFA 2026, Dhurandhar took Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor for Singh — his first IIFA Best Actor win arriving at 40, sixteen years after his debut. The film’s world television premiere aired on Star Gold on 18 October 2026, and as late as 4 November 2026, Filmibeat was still measuring the next big release against it: Ramayana, due around the post-Diwali weekend, had sold about 523,000 BookMyShow tickets two days out, against Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s 1.1 million at the same stage, with a day-one advance gross above Rs 50 crore that Ramayana was projected to trail.

One debate belongs in any honest account of this phase. The casting of 20-year-old Sara Arjun opposite the 40-year-old Singh drew online criticism over the 20-year age gap. Casting director Mukesh Chhabra answered it directly in iDiva in December 2025, saying the story required a girl of 20 or 21 — Singh’s character is trying to trap her — and that the choice was dictated by the script, not by a shortage of actors in their late twenties. Readers can judge the explanation; the gap itself is a fact of the film, not a rumour about the actor’s life.

Height, Fitness, and the Physical Side of 41

Singh stands 5 feet 10 inches (178 cm) tall, per the tracker consensus, and weighs around 75 kg on the same tracker basis. No official measurement has been published by the actor or a studio, so both figures carry the tracker-reported label — they are consistent across the bio pages, but they are not verified measurements.

The physical story at 41 is less about the number and more about the transformations. The Dhurandhar role demanded a leaner, harder look than the flamboyant energy of his thirties, and the spy-action schedule — two giant films inside fifteen months — is the kind of workload that punishes actors who arrive unfit. His public appearances through 2026, including the July birthday coverage that noted a zombie thriller on the horizon, show the same high-energy physical presence that marked his twenties, now carried by a 41-year-old. The honest version of the fitness story is that he has avoided the visible decline that ends most action careers by 40, and the trade numbers suggest audiences have noticed.

The Money at 41: A Rs 381 Crore Fortune

Singh’s net worth in 2026 is anchored here at around Rs 381 crore, roughly $44 million, per NetWorthGyaan’s update of 4 November 2026. That anchor sits inside a tracker range of Rs 250 crore to Rs 400 crore ($30 million to $50 million): Bharat Deco News’ July 2026 birthday special put it at Rs 300–350 crore, TechnoSports and Flickonclick at Rs 350–400 crore, and Star Life Files lower at Rs 245–260 crore ($30–32 million). The spread reflects different counting methods — film fees, endorsements, property, and investments weighted differently — not a dispute about whether he is wealthy. On any count, he is one of Hindi cinema’s richest working actors.

The income behind the figure is straightforward. Trackers put his film fee at Rs 20–25 crore per film, and the Dhurandhar franchise — two films, both past Rs 1,000 crore worldwide — reset his market price at 40 in a way his thirties never did. Endorsements have run alongside the films since his Forbes India Celebrity 100 days, and property reports, all tracker-sourced and labeled as such, credit him with a Rs 119 crore sea-facing quadruplex in Bandra, a Rs 40 crore apartment in Worli, and a Rs 22 crore bungalow in Alibaug. Pinkvilla’s March 2026 piece put the couple’s combined wealth near Rs 900 crore, with Padukone’s share around Rs 500 crore and Singh’s around Rs 362 crore in that piece’s own counting — a useful reminder that combined-wealth headlines are not the same as his individual figure.

The age angle on the money is simple: the fortune did not peak early and fade. The Dhurandhar run means his highest-earning years, by box-office standards, are his 40th and 41st. A star whose biggest franchise arrives at 40 has a different negotiating position than one defending a peak from a decade earlier.

What Comes Next at 41

Singh enters his 42nd year with one project widely reported and one dispute still attached to his name. The reported project is Pralay, a zombie action thriller flagged in the July 2026 birthday coverage as the next transformation after Dhurandhar. No release date has been confirmed in the sources found for this article, and this profile does not invent one.

The dispute concerns Don 3. Trade reporting noted by Flickonclick says Singh exited the franchise and faced a non-cooperation directive from the Film Workers’ Federation (FWICE) over the exit. That is reported, not confirmed by the actor or the studio in the sources found, and it sits in this article as an open item rather than a settled fact. What is settled is the calendar: whatever comes next, he shoots it as a 41-year-old, with a franchise record behind him and the Ramayana benchmark — a film measured against his advance-booking numbers in November 2026 — as the current proof of his box-office standing.

Ranveer Singh’s Age Compared With His Contemporaries

Age only means something in context. Against the stars he shares the box office with, Singh sits in the younger half of the top tier — younger than the Khans, older than the next generation led by Alia Bhatt.

The comparison cuts in Singh’s favour on longevity: at 41, he is twenty years younger than Shah Rukh Khan, whose Ramayana-era box-office benchmark he is currently setting, and three years younger than Ranbir Kapoor, his closest generational rival. He is also old enough that the “young star” label no longer fits — the Dhurandhar franchise is a middle-career peak, not a debutant’s hot streak.
