Sara Arjun responded to the ongoing controversy over her casting alongside Ranveer Singh in ‘Dhurandhar’, affirming that she always felt her role was well-deserved. Social media erupted with reactions to the lead pair’s selection, largely focusing on the 20-year age gap between the actors.
Breaking her silence on the buzz, Sara stressed that people have the right to their views, and she honors all perspectives.
Sara Arjun defends the age gap with Ranveer Singh
In an NDTV interview, Sara Arjun, who shared the screen with Ranveer Singh, addressed the buzz around their age difference. She stood by her casting, noting she knew it suited the story’s context perfectly. “All the noise is on social media, right? And I’m not very active. I didn’t engage with it much… I also believe everyone has their own opinion.
And, I truly believe in ‘live and let live’… It’s their opinion. It doesn’t influence how I think… I knew the story, and I knew it was justified, and that’s all,” Sara said.
Sara Arjun praises Ranveer Singh as co-star
Sara Arjun also lauded Singh, stating she couldn’t have wished for a better co-star in ‘Dhurandhar’. “No matter who I work with in the future, I don’t think anyone can top Ranveer. He’s set the bar so high. As an actor, he’s deeply involved in his craft, but he also cares for the entire set. He sees filmmaking as teamwork. He’s equally invested in what I do and in what the set and others are contributing. That’s really important.
He brings everyone together,” she added.
