The actress had made a revelation that she had worked with Ranveer several years ago. "The first time I worked with him was in Paris, when we were jobless. We performed in a show directed by Shaad Ali, and choreographed by Saroj Khan. He is affectionate, encouraging and generous. At the same time, he is a complete entertainer. It's shocking to see the amount of energy he has. He can work non-stop and still be calm and happy," she had said.

'Ranveer Is My First Hero'

While speaking to DC earlier, Rao had said, "Ranveer is very focused, but off the sets he's a lot of fun. We both worked together seven years ago on a project when we were both unemployed. So, we have that bond. Ranveer is my first hero, and I'm his first heroine. We're very comfortable with each other. It's a lot of fun working with him."
