Ranveer Singh on Kathak performance in ‘Dhindora Baaje Re’: ‘Was difficult to imbibe the essential grace’

Actor Ranveer Singh hosted an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on Instagram on August 7 to answer questions related to his recent release ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani’. The actor opened up about his character and his Kathak performance in the song ‘Dhindora Baaje Re’.

When a fan asked Ranveer, ‘Your Kathak in the film was surprising, how much time did you take to learn?’ The actor replied, ‘It took about a month. It was difficult to imbibe the essential grace in the dance form, given all the muscle mass that I was packing at the time!’

A fan was curious about his accents, and asked, ‘Be it Bittoo, be it Rocky, How do you always get that accent right?!!’

Ranveer shared, ‘I love playing with language and adding cultural texture to the characters variations dhoondne mein mazza aata hai!’ (I enjoy finding variations in characters).

The actor also shared that he is overwhelmed by the love he has been getting, which includes letters of appreciation from fans.

‘There has been such an immense outpouring of love for Rocky. I’m overwhelmed…lambe lambe love letters mil rahe hain..I’m so grateful,’ he wrote.

During the success meet of the film, Ranveer shared that his wife Deepika loved the movie.

‘It was one of the most memorable and fulfilling movie watching experiences of my life. I took her on a Saturday night to watch Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. It was just the two of us sitting in the last row, on recliners. And I had seen the film already, so I was really just there for her reaction. She was laughing, she was crying, she was clapping, whistling, and often times turning to me and saying ‘aww’. She’s very proud of me, and I’m very happy about that,’ Ranveer said.

According to the trade website Sacnilk, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, directed by Karan Johar, has earned over Rs 100 crore at the domestic box office.
