In the enchanting world of Bollywood, we often find ourselves captivated by the on-screen charisma of our favourite stars. We watch them sing, dance, and emote their way into our hearts, but there’s always that lingering curiosity about what they’re like when the cameras aren’t rolling. Do they mirror the larger-than-life characters they portray, or is there more to the story? Well, we’ve gathered seven tales from people who’ve had the privilege of working closely with the industry’s biggest stars.
A Redditor asked, “People who have worked with celebrities, what don’t we know about them?” And the sub some really interesting answers. Let’s take a look!
1. The Male Divas
“This might not go down well, but the women in general are easier to work with than the men. All the male actors I have worked with have diva behaviour and have been tardy. Current generation actors are super professional, but not warm, though easier to work with. People who have been chill to work with: Ananya, Anushka, and Dulquer Salman. I have also shot with SRK, he has an entourage that keeps him protected from starstruck juniors like me.” – currybradshaw
2. The Heros Off-Screen
“Ranveer Singh – Very hyper. But super fun to work with. Will add his own ideas. Sidharth Malhotra – breeze to work with, adds many ideas of his own. Rajkummar Rao – professional, very good to work with. Salman Khan – will come in late but behaviour is gentlemanly, talks nicely to everyone on set.” – Lonely-County-8780
3. Sonam & Anand – Cute Or Cringe?
“My best friend interned at Sonam’s like 6 years ago and she told me that during meetings Sonam would sit on Anand’s lap. Everyone else who was working with her seemed unbothered but it made my friend super uncomfortable.” – OKResponsibility9506
4. Ranveer Singh – The Black Sheep
“Back when he wasn’t a big shot, my family and Ranveer Singh’s family hung out in the same circle in Kolkata. He was the guy everyone bitched about, and everyone’s ‘I hope my kids don’t turn out like him’ example. He was abroad at that point and everyone thought he will do nothing in life.” – Unicorn_blood_
5. Katrina & Vicky – A Couple Of Opposites!
“Katrina is polite but professional, will complete her work and leave, doesn’t want to dilly dally. Vicky is a darling. He’s so warm, kind and friendly. Very charming and outgoing.” – ChicSynergy
6. Salman Khan – Late But Worth The Wait?
“My cousin worked in a company which hired Salman for the launch of one of their products. Salman didn’t turn up for the event! Didn’t answer phone, staff also not responding. Brother (with his staff) camped outside Galaxy apartment, literally pleaded with him to turn up for sometime. Bhai finally decided to come (only 3 hours late). Did the event as promised, no tantrums, was nice and all. Didn’t even acknowledge that he was late.” – stark561
7. Which Sisters Are We Talking About?
“A female lead of Dharma and her sibling are super active about their charitable endeavours on social media. IRL, they admitted that they did not care about that stuff at all and they’d rather travel and chill in the duration that they spent at their charity.” – FlagshipHuman
Well, this is simply proof that not everything is as glitz and glamm as it seems!
