Comedian Romesh Ranganathan made a shocking revelation on a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show. The hilarious talk show host, known for his self-deprecating humor, opened up about his struggles as a parent and the doubts he faces in his role as a father and husband.
Ranganathan, who has just released his second book titled “As Good as It Gets: Life Lessons from a Reluctant Adult,” admitted that he often feels like he’s “pretending” to be someone he’s not. “I just feel like I’m pretending to be all of the things I’m supposed to be pretending to be a comedian, pretending to be a father, pretending to be a husband,” he confessed.
The comedian went on to discuss how he often compares himself to other dads and wonders if they too are just “pretending.” He humorously acknowledged that he feels like a “massive loser” and questioned why anyone would want advice from him. However, his candidness and relatability shine through as he admits to his ongoing struggles with self-confidence.
In his new book, Ranganathan aims to inspire others by sharing his own journey and admitting that he doesn’t have all the answers. The book is a testament to his honesty and vulnerability. “I just don’t know what I’m doing,” he admitted. “I want to write a book that’s inspirational because when you read it, you think, thank God I’m not him.”
One example Ranganathan shared was a situation where he jokingly called his son a “mate.” Unbeknownst to him, his son took it seriously and called him the same, resulting in a heated argument. Reflecting on this incident, Ranganathan realized that his words had influenced his son’s behavior, leading him to apologize and admit that he didn’t always know the right way to handle situations.
Ranganathan’s openness about his parenting struggles resonates with many viewers who also grapple with self-doubt and uncertainties. His honesty is refreshing in a world where parents often feel the pressure to present themselves as flawless. By sharing his own shortcomings, Ranganathan gives others permission to embrace their imperfections.
Despite his self-professed “loser” persona, Ranganathan’s comedic talent and relatable anecdotes make him a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. His willingness to expose his vulnerabilities only adds to his charm and makes him all the more endearing.
