On April 7, renowned Pakistani actor Affan Waheed stated that he was incorrectly identified as Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor by admirers in London.
The performer, famous for his part in the television series “Do Bol,” made a recent appearance on a privately owned TV program. There, he recounted an intriguing episode from his personal experiences. As part of a challenge section during the broadcast, the presenter requested that he disclose something true about himself.
Affan Waheed remembered, “While working on a project in London, I exited a restaurant when some Indian fans came up to me and exclaimed, ‘You are Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor!’ I went along with their assumption and affirmed it. Soon after, they began taking photos with me, believing I was actually Ranbir Kapoor.”
Affan Waheed chose not to identify the public figure, stating, “I decided against mentioning anyone specifically because fans could start teasing me with questions like, ‘What about Ranbir Kapoor? Where do I fit into this?’ Therefore, I remained silent on the matter.”
Actor Agha Ali, who was also part of the show, disclosed that it was actually Ranbir Kapoor whom the fans had mistaken him for.
Previously, South Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna shared that during their film “Animal,” her co-star and top Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor caused her to shed tears on set.
Ranbir Kapoor not only made his co-star Rashmika Mandanna shed tears during their scene in ‘Animal’ where his character betrayed and hurt hers, but he also brought about joyful tears from her after filming with a touching act.
During an interview, Mandanna revealed that she struggled to hold back her feelings when Ranbir Kapoor brought her a meal from his place after she had finished eating what she described as ‘dull food’.
While we were filming, I mentioned that my breakfast was incredibly dull,” she recounted. “To my surprise, the following day, Ranbir Kapoor had delicious breakfast brought for me in such a kind manner. His chef prepared everything. When he presented it to me, I couldn’t help but start crying. I thought to myself, ‘How could the exact same type of meal taste so wonderful? This is just too much.’
“And he said, ‘Why are you having such bland food?’ I replied, ‘You have the fortune of being cooked for by someone good, but we aren’t,’” recalled the lead actor of ‘Pushpa’. “We are ordinary folks (common people), so we cannot afford a chef from Hyderabad or anywhere else.”
Significantly, Ranbir Kapoor and Mandanna starred alongside Triptii Dimri, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s neo-noir action thriller titled ‘Animal,’ which was among the top-grossing movies of 2023.
