Of Ranbir Kapoor’

-

MUMBAI: Actor Aditi Rao Hydari, who will be seen in the upcoming biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt, says she is a big fan of actor Ranbir Kapoor, who essays the title role in the film. Talking about the Rajkumar Hirani directoria­l, Aditi said, “First of all it’s Raju (Hirani) sir’s film... He is just amazing. His scripts are amazing, he directs amazingly.

“Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) sir is very honest with his own story. He (Hirani) will tell you some amazing stories which will leave you awestruck... He says it in such an amazing way,” she added. Ranbir is known to have put on weight for his role as Sanjay Dutt, and some photograph­s that emerged on social media, gave a glimpse into the efforts being put into making Ranbir look the part. Aditi vouches for it. “I am a really big fan of Ranbir and he has gone completely into the mannerism of the character. In fact, I even met him on set because our shoot locations were in close proximity. I saw Sanju sir as I was shooting with him then I saw Ranbir and thought to myself, what is this happening to me, so it was amazing and I think it is going to be epic,” said Aditi, who also plays Sanjay’s on screen daughter in Bhoomi.

Aditi will also be seen in filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming period drama Padmavati. She says there’s no doubt that the filmmaker creates cinematic history with his talent.

“I just hope and pray that no difficulti­es are faced because I really believe that Sanjay Leela Bhansali sir is somebody we should be proud of, and we shouldn’t curb his voice.” MUMBAI: National Award winning actor Sonam Kapoor has urged fans and social media users not to get personal and troll celebritie­s.

Sonam, who was trolled on social media for misquoting the national anthem in her column that she writes for a publishing house, posted the request on Twitter.

“I request my followers and fans not to hate someone and get personal towards other celebritie­s. Be better than that. Please remember imitation is the best form of flattery. And it just showcases admiration. Please don’t get personal and troll,” Sonam posted.

On April 21, a part of the actor’s column went viral on the internet highlighti­ng her misquoted lines from the anthem.

It read: “I love my country but for some of you - and you’re the bigots, not me – I become ‘antination­al’ only because I ask questions or choose to be critical. Listen to the national anthem… recall the line you heard as kids, ‘Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Issai…’”.

The column was her way of expressing anguish at being trolled by people and the trend of trolling on the net lately.

In the past, the actor has been trolled for talking about the fourday meat ban in Mumbai in 2015.

Sonam had said that “India will remain a third world country because of the intolerant misogynist­ic close minded few”.
