Ranbir Kapoor's cheesy comment on his co-star Aishwarya upsets Bachchans
After Rakhi Sawant and Mallika Sherawat, Ranbir Kapoor seems to rapidly be acquiring the reputation for being the new motormouth in town. This time round, his comments on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan seem to have ruffled the feathers of many, including the Bachchans themselves.
Recently, during a radio interview, Ranbir was asked what it felt like to do intimate scenes with his teen crush Aishwarya. Ranbir said, “Sharam aati thi, mere haath shiver hote the. Kabhi kabhi main unke gaal ko touch karne mein jijhakta tha. (I would feel shy and my hands would shiver. I would hesitate to touch her cheeks) Phir unhone bola ‘Listen what’s wrong with you? We’re acting, do it properly.’ Phir maine socha, kabhi aisa mauka milega nahi, so maine bhi mauke pe chauka maar diya. (I thought I’ll never get this chance again, so I took it).”
Ranbir’s cheesy response was not taken well by the Bachchans. A close friend of the family wondered what brought on this kind of a tacky comment. “There are four very professional actors in the Bachchan family, and they know what professionalism is all about,” says the Bachchan confidante. “There’s absolutely no objection to whatever the scenes contained in the film. But why is Ranbir making these embarrassing comments about hitting ‘mauke pe chauka?’”
