Mumbai, Dec 12 (IANS): Actor Ranveer Singh, whose latest release "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl" has received rave reviews, believes that he was born to entertain and won't mind performing live if it makes others happy.

"Deep down in my heart I would like to believe that I am born to entertain people. So I am most happy that I am able to cap off such a wonderful year doing exactly what I love doing the most, which is performing," he said at a press conference held here for Aamby Valley's annual New Year bash Glitterati 2012.

"If I can make even one person's New Year special by performing, then it will give me immense amount of satisfaction," he added.

Reflecting on 2011, Ranveer, 26, calls it the best year of his life.

"2011 has been the biggest learning curve of my life. What I learned in the past one year, I have not learned cumulatively all my life - the number of things that I have done for the first time in the past year, the number of people I have met," said Ranveer, who struck stardom with his very fist film "Band Baaja Baaraat" in 2010.

He talked about his growth as an actor and said: "My growth as an artist and as a person has been high at a very rapid pace in the past one year. It's been a fantastic year for me." Ranveer plays a conman in his latest film "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl".

Ranveer has also signed "Lootera" opposite Sonakshi Sinha, which is being produced by "Phantom", a production house jointly started by Vikas Bahl, Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane.
