  • In August 2023, during a pre-release event for ‘King of Kotha,’ Rana made a comment about Dulquer Salmaan‘s patience on set, contrasting it with Sonam Kapoor‘s behaviour, which he described as distracting. [2]NDTV He said,

    Dulquer was my junior at acting school. We became friends there. He is a very polite person. He’s doing a Hindi movie and the producers are my friends. The shoot was happening near my house. I went there to meet Dulquer. While he was standing in the corner with the spot boy, a big Hindi heroine who was doing that movie was engrossed in a phone conversation about shopping in London with her husband. Her lack of focus affected the shots’ quality, frustrating those on set. Despite the disruptions caused by the situation, Dulquer remained patient and understanding, defusing tension and maintaining a harmonious environment.”

    After facing backlash from Rana’s remarks, Sonam responded by sharing a quote by the former first lady of the United States Eleanor Roosevelt on Instagram. Rana, however, later apologized to Sonam through a post on X, explaining that they often shared friendly banter and regretted his misinterpreted words.
