- In August 2023, during the pre-release event of ‘King of Kotha’, Rana made a comment about Dulquer Salmaan’s patience on the sets, comparing it to Sonam Kapoor’s behaviour, which he described as distracting. He said,
Dulquer was my junior in acting school. We became friends there. He is a very humble person. He is doing a Hindi film and the producer is my friend. The shooting was happening near my house. I had gone there to meet Dulquer. While he was standing in the corner with the spot boy, a big Hindi heroine working in that film was busy in a phone conversation with her husband about shopping in London. His lack of focus affected the quality of the shots, leaving those on set frustrated. Despite the disruptions caused by the situation, Dulquer remained patient and understanding, defused the tension and maintained a cordial atmosphere.
After facing backlash over Rana’s comments, Sonam responded by sharing a quote from former First Lady of the United States Eleanor Roosevelt on Instagram. However, Rana later apologized to Sonam through a post on X, explaining that they often shared friendly banter and expressed regret over his misinterpretations.
