Ranveer Singh on cloud 9 after 'Bajirao Mastani's' big win

Ranveer Singh is on cloud nine after his latest release Bajirao Mastani took home nine awards including the best actor award at the 61st Filmfare Awards. The 30-year-old actor, who portrayed the titular role of Bajirao in the Sanjay Leela Bhansli film, received the award from veteran actress Rekha.

Apart from winning the best actor honour, the romantic saga also took home the best film and best director honours. The period drama, which released on December 18, also won best production, best costume, best action, best choreography, best singer female, best film, and best supporting actress trophies.
