Ranveer Singh Becomes Emotional During Live Instagram Chat With Fans

As Padmavati trailer opened to positive reactions on Monday, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh took to social media to thank fans and fraternity for all the love. While Twitter was awash with people appreciating the trailer of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, many of film industry’s leading lights also had praise for the film. Baahubali director SS Rajamouli, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar were just a few of those who shared their thoughts.

Ranveer Singh was so overcome with emotion that he broke down during an Instagram chat with his fans. While watching the trailer with his fans, he started crying and said Bhansali has put blood and tears in Padmavati. He even took a minute to compose himself before he could go on.

Ranveer later posted a thank you note on social media too. After thanking everyone from “the bottom of heart”, he wrote, “It is a result of blood, sweat and tears that our team has poured in this mammoth effort. Danjay sir, my crazy genius, the master craftsman… has fought, suffered and sacrificed for this film – the success of this trailer is a testament to his sheer tenacity and iron will. What you’re seeing is the vision of a deeply passionate artist who has bared his infinite soul on celluloid.”

The film has earlier faced protests from fringe groups which claimed that the film will show Khilji and Padmavati romancing. Both Bhansali and his team have dismissed such speculation.
