Gehraiyaan, post its release has had its share on controversies and hate from the people. It also cannot be denied that the film has also got wide appreciation. What was particularly noticed is how people went to say that Siddhant Chaturvedi who romanced Deepika Padukone in the film had to seek permission from Ranveer Singh.
His reaction
Talking to Bollywood Bubble about whether these comments angered him, Siddhant said, “It doesn’t actually, because we are professionals, we know our equation. I remember when we were shooting for this film, Ranveer had come to Goa for a few days. We chilled, we partied. In fact, when I signed the film, he was the first person I called and he was really happy. He has just been showering me with love since Gully Boy and he is my mentor in life, so it was absolutely fine. Deepika is a professional. When people say these things, kya kar sakte hai (what can one do)? Hum toh apna kaam kar rahe hai (We are just doing our job).”
The film shows that Deepika who is an unhappy relationship, starts an affair with her cousin’s fiancée played by Siddhant.
Siddhant added, “I think we did it in the most elegant way with an intimacy director Dar (Gai) coming on board. It took a little time for me as well to ease into it but it was very important because it was not supposed to be for shock value. It was a part of the film. Now that you have watched the film, you know that it’s not forced or anything. It’s there because it’s part of the story,” he said.
Ranveer Singh, meanwhile, seems very impressed with Gehraiyaan and recently shared an Instagram post in which he appreciated the performance of Deepika’s performance. “Tour de force. Transcendent, superlative and sublime! What an absolute masterclass of a performance, baby! Such fine, nuanced and heartfelt artistry! … at your consummate and peerless best in this one! You make me so proud! @deepikapadukone #gehraiyaan,” he wrote in his caption.
