Actor Rana Daggubati regrets the negativity faced by Actress Sonam Kapoor following his recent comments. Rana did not mention Sonam’s name at an event in Hyderabad, but he said that a ‘Bollywood heroine’ was wasting the time of actor Dulquer Salman on the set of their film. Sonam and Dulquer worked together on The Zoya Factor.
In a new tweet, Rana clarified his comments and even apologized to Sonam and Dulquer. “I am genuinely troubled by the negativity that has been aimed at Sonam due to my comments, that are totally untrue and were meant entirely in a light-hearted manner. As friends, we often exchange playful banter, and I deeply regret that my words have been misinterpreted,” he said.
He added, “I take this opportunity to express my heartfelt apologies to Sonam and Dulquer, both of whom I hold in great esteem. I hope this clarification puts an end to any speculation and misunderstanding. Thank you for your understanding”.
At a pre-release event for King of Kotha, the media reported that Rana said, “Dulquer was my cadet at actor school. We became friends there. He is a very polite person. He’s doing a Hindi movie and the producers are my friends. The shoot was happening near my house. I went there to meet Dulquer.”
He continued, “While he was standing in the corner with the spot boy, a big Hindi heroine who was doing that movie was engrossed in a phone conversation about shopping in London with her husband. Her lack of focus affected the quality of the shots, frustrating those on set. Dulquer remained patient and understanding despite the disruptions caused by the situation, defusing tension and maintaining a harmonious environment” said Rana.
However, Rana was too upset by the incident back then, and he went to confront the film’s producers about the same thing.
