Sonali Raut on Ranveer Singh’s nervousness during shoot
Sonali Raut mentioned that, unlike his Dhurandhar persona, she has seen Ranveer Singh in a different, sweeter avatar who was nervous on set.
In a chat with Filmi Beat, she said, “I know Ranveer very differently. I did a pose with him, and after a few years, he did the same pose with Vaani Kapoor. Ranveer, at that time, was very sweet, very friendly, and very nice. He was not like (imitates him) ‘Yeah,’ full of energy, no. Actually, he was very shy because, again, it was a bikini shoot.”
She recalled, “It was very bold. It was glamorous. He said, ‘This is my first shoot like that, very glamorous, and with a girl who’s wearing a bikini.’ Yeah, he was so cautious. He was chewing gum, he was wearing perfume… I was chill, and even the photographer was like, ‘Sonali, don’t make him conscious because you are okay, but he’s a little nervous. Please make him comfortable.’”
