No inflated egos here

Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha provided a rare exception.

In an industry where over-inflated egos are a norm, Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha provided that rare exception: Actors who’re able to laugh at themselves. This is exactly what transpired on the sets of 'R... Rajkumar' during filming a scene that required the actors to poke fun at the other’s height and weight, respectively. With nary a fuss, both Sona and Shahid sportingly agreed to mouth jestful comments on their “trouble areas”.

“The scene required Sonakshi to rib Shahid about his height and for Shahid to tease her about her weight. We were not sure how the actors would react to the dialogues. But Sona and Shahid surprised us by laughing heartily and enacting it perfectly,” said a source.

In fact, the only “trouble” was that Sona and Shahid as well as the crewmembers were laughing so hard that the scene required several retakes.

“Considering the fact that heroes are very touchy about their height and any talk about a heroine’s weight is taboo, it was quite sporting of them,”?the source adds. Sona and Shahid are elated about the response to the scene in the promos. Sonakshi says, “We were in splits while filming the scene. A lot of people were not expecting our pairing to work, but the response has been fabulous. As a matter of fact, someone told me after seeing this promo that a scene like this only reinforces that we are so imperfectly perfect together!”
