Srinath Maganti’s Learning Experience
The actor also spoke about how Ranbir doesn’t come to set with starry airs. “ Ranbir Kapoor does not come with an entourage. When he comes on set, a huge plate filled with healthy chips, biscuits, chocolates and all kinds of snacks is brought along. It’s for the people around him on set. If you’re hungry, you pick it. I remember when I first took a snack, someone told me, ye sir ka hai (this is sir’s). I was like, itna khate kya sir (does sir eat this much)? Ranbir overheard and was like, aye c**tiye, khaane de (let him eat). He’s not abusive, but he’s the kind to cuss with love,” he said.
