Ranjeet Recalls Hitting Sridevi With Hunter The Day His Father Had Passed Away

In his tete-a-tete with a leading daily, veteran actor Ranjeet who is one of the most celebrated villains of Bollywood, spoke about being extremely professional in his career and revealed how he had shot for his portions of a film in Hyderabad despite his father's demise on the same day.

While speaking to Times Of India, Ranjeet revealed, "Do you know I flew down to Hyderabad to shoot for a film the day my father passed away? I was like a rock but when he died, I shook like a leaf. Relatives started coming down from all over the country to pay their last respects as he was the eldest in the family, but I took the flight out. I decided to shoot for my portions so that the sets don't go to waste, and my father, who had never been accused of any wrongdoing in life, didn't end up being blamed for the failed shoot on his death bed."

He further added, "So, I went there, laughed aloud like a villain for the camera, went back to my room and sobbed, hit Sridevi with a hunter, returned to the room wailing; I kept washing my face with chilled soda in between shots so that no one would know.
