• I am genuinely troubled by the negativity that has been aimed at Sonam due to my comments, that are totally untrue and were meant entirely in a light-hearted manner. As friends, we often exchange playful banter, and I deeply regret that my words have been misinterpreted.

Another one replied: "We are also genuinely troubled when u spoke ur mind why ur apologizing to the worst actress 😆" For the unversed, during the King Of Kotha event, while talking about Dulquer Salmaan, Rana said that a 'Bollywood heroine' wasted Salmaan's time on the sets of their film. "Dulquer was my junior at acting school. There, we became buddies. He is quite courteous. He's in a Hindi film, and the producers are friends of mine. The shoot was taking place near my residence. I went to meet Dulquer," he said.

He further added: "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 with her husband about shopping in London. Her lack of focus hampered the quality of the shot, which frustrated others on set. Despite the disruptions caused by the situation, Dulquer remained patient and understanding, defusing tension and maintaining a harmonious environment."
