Sonali Raut recalls that Ranveer Singh was very shy during his first bikini photo shoot, and says she was asked to make him comfortable. She describes the softer and sweeter side of Ranveer, contrasting with his Dhurandhar image. Meanwhile, Ranveer’s Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2 took the box office by storm, with combined earnings crossing Rs 3,000 crore.
Sonali Raut spoke about how Dhurandhar star Ranveer Singh felt nervous during a bikini photoshoot. Since she had experience with such bold shots, she was asked to help Ranveer feel comfortable, as he was still new to the entertainment industry and was very shy at that time.
Sonali mentioned that the Ranveer she saw at that time was completely different from the energetic and confident actor he is today.
Sonali Raut recalls Ranveer Singh’s first bikini photoshoot
In a conversation with Filmi Beat, Sonali said, “I know Ranveer very differently. I did a pose with him, and a few years later, he did the same pose with Vaani Kapoor. Ranveer, at that time, was very sweet, very friendly and very sweet. He wasn’t like (mimics him) ‘yes’, full of energy, no. In fact, he was very shy because again, it was a bikini photoshoot.”“It was very bold. It was glamorous,” she recalled. Sonali also shared that Ranveer was very self-conscious during the shoot. “Ranveer told me this was his first shoot like this, like very glamorous, and with a girl in a bikini,” she recalled. “Yes, he was very careful. He was chewing gum, he was wearing perfume… I was feeling cold, and even the photographer said, ‘Sonali, don’t make him conscious because you’re fine, but he’s a little nervous.'”
Please make it comfortable.”Raut said that, unlike his image in ‘Dhurandhar’, she saw a softer and sweeter side of Ranveer who was visibly nervous on the sets. She recalled him telling her: “You know, Sonali, this is my first photo shoot. You know, I’m wearing clothes.” She added: “I said: Yes, you are wearing clothes, what is bothering you?”
