What Shefali said about Ranveer
Sharing a clip from an awards function, where Ranveer was seen lifting her on stage after she received an award, Shefali wrote, “The first time I met @ranveersingh was exactly like this. I was at the dance rehearsal of Galla Gudiyan in a studio in Bombay, all the actors were pouring in while I stood at the side, trying to be invisible, giving awkward smiles and greeting all. And suddenly, from behind, I get lifted off the ground by trespassing arms. I was ready to snap when I heard a super excited voice gushing, “Shefu, let’s make a kick ass film.”… it was Ranveer. This was our very first interaction. And just like that, we became a team. That’s Ranveer, and that’s why I adore him so much. He has no filters. His ability to feel emotions and express them in all honesty is absolutely childlike.”
She continued, “His energy, enthusiasm and warmth are infectious. His passion for people, for anything he does, is infallible. Ran (I call him that out of affection) he treats you like you are important, and that’s very heartwarming. He’s 100% a team player. He knows the importance of every character, & he knows when to step back & just be a support to someone else, and that takes immense security & a deeper understanding that a film is a collaborative effort, not a certificate of individual achievements.”
Shefali called Ranveer one of the finest actors and added, “Once, after the release of DDD, he had gone to the theatres on the sly & he messaged me after to yet again compliment me on my work. And his compliments, or rather nothing about him, is contained. He’s not polite, politically correct, formal, or put on. He is absolutely genuine, someone who feels immensely and expresses it unabashedly as a person and as an actor. I’m a huge fan of Ranveer the actor. If he’s in a film or even an ad, I’ll watch it just for him. He is simply one of the finest actors there is. and consistently so. His performances are so layered, and yet he makes it seem so simple and effortless.”
She praised his talent and added, “And that’s the beauty. Not once do you see Ranveer Singh the actor or his impeccable craft. All you see is his honesty, vulnerability, and rawness. And All you see is the character. Whether it’s Bajirao, Kapil Dev, Khilji, Jaskirat, or Hamza. Ranveer is pure heart and sheer madness. And that is exactly where his magic lies.”
