Beyond the Screen: Anjali Anand Opens Up About Ranveer Singh's Professional Grace and Navigating Bollywood's Stereotypes
In the glittering, fast-paced world of Bollywood, where schedules are tight and starry temperaments are common, small gestures of genuine kindness often leave the deepest impressions. Rising actress Anjali Anand , who recently shared the screen with some of the industry's biggest stars in the comedy ensemble Dhamaal 4 , has fondly looked back at her experience filming Karan Johar ’s 2023 romantic drama, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani .
In a candid reflection, Anand highlighted an unexpected moment of sensitivity from her co-star, Ranveer Singh , which took place during her very first day on set. The incident, she says, speaks volumes about the superstar’s character and continues to define their relationship years later.
An Unexpected Apology on Day One
Starting work on a major Dharma Productions film is a milestone for any actor. Eager to share her excitement, Anand had posted an optimistic update on Instagram, expressing how thrilled she was to begin filming Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. However, as is often the case with massive film productions, the shoot experienced unforeseen scheduling delays. Because Singh's prior scenes ran over their scheduled time, Anand's debut shot could not be completed that day.
Instead of leaving the newcomer to deal with the quiet disappointment, Singh took personal accountability for the delay. Recalling the heartwarming gesture, Anand shared:
"I remember on my first day of shoot, we couldn't complete my scene. I'd already posted on Instagram saying I couldn't wait for my first day on such a big film. Ranveer saw it and came up to me saying, 'I'm so sorry.' I told him, 'Ranveer, only you know my scene didn't happen. Everyone else thinks I shot today.'"
What resonated most with Anand was Singh's complete lack of ego. "What touched me was how sensitive he was," she explained. "He genuinely apologised that my scene couldn't be filmed because his schedule had run late."
The superstar's support did not end with a simple apology. The following day, Singh made it a priority to be present for Anand’s shoot, actively seeking feedback from the crew before returning to offer her encouragement.
