Bollywood’s Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are often compared by fans and critics alike, sparking endless debates about who shines brighter. However, actor Naveen Kaushik, who has worked closely with both stars, reveals that they share more similarities than differences.
Shared Work Ethic and Humility
In a recent interview with India Forums, Naveen shared, “Neither Ranbir nor Ranveer relies solely on their fame or past successes. They genuinely focus on building real connections with everyone around them. While working on Rocket Singh with Ranbir, I noticed how he made an effort to learn everyone’s name and bond with the crew. Similarly, on Dhurandhar, Ranveer personally made sure to know everyone’s names and met them without expecting formal greetings.”

Creating a Positive Set Environment
Naveen added, “Both actors bring tremendous energy and ensure the set atmosphere stays lively and stress-free. They aren’t arrogant stars; instead, they treat everyone with kindness and respect. I remember on Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, even after Ranbir had become a huge star, he approached me to ask about my career – a simple yet thoughtful gesture. On Dhurandhar, Ranveer also took time to connect with the crew and co-stars, uplifting spirits and helping everyone relax. Both foster a welcoming and warm environment on set.”
