Ranbir clarifies his comment on Ash

on Oct 31, 2016

Ranbir Kapoor has responded to a recent controversy which erupted after he spoke on intimate scenes between him and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Ranbir Kapoor had said that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was too shy to shoot the intimate scenes with Aishwarya and so the actress told him that they were just acting, following which he did it thinking he would never get the "chance" again. "I would feel shy and my hands would shiver. I would hesitate to touch her cheeks even. Then she said 'Listen what's wrong with you? We are acting, do it properly.' Then I thought I would not get this chance again and so I took it," Ranbir had said in an interview recently. Now, in a statement, the actor has said that his comments "in a radio interview were taken in a bad taste," though he has not mentioned the particular statement. The statement says he is hurt about how a candid conversation has been blown out of context and sensationalised into headlines and stories. "Aishwarya is such a superb actor and also a family friend. She's one of India's most talented and respected women. I will be forever grateful to her for her contribution to Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. I could not have disrespected her like that!" he said.
