The couple prefers not to discuss work at home. Sargun only found out about the role through others and chose not to ask him directly. This was discussed during Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast which was held last year.
How Sargun Mehta found out
Sargun Mehta said in the podcast that they rarely talk about work at home. “We don’t really talk about work at home. Just like he doesn’t know what I’m doing until my projects are announced, I also don’t find out about his work until it becomes public.” When someone congratulated her about Ravie’s role, she stopped them and said she was not supposed to know.Even during the shoot, Ravie remained secretive. Whenever Sargun asked where he was going, he would simply reply, “Kaam pe ja raha hoon,” (I am going foe work) without mentioning it was a film shoot. Sargun later admitted her curiosity got the better of her. She once asked the driver about the set atmosphere, but the driver thought she was asking about Ranbir Kapoor.
Ravie laughed when Sargun shared the story. He added, “Woh bhi mere bare mein nahi, Ranbir (Kapoor) ke bare mein.” (“That too not about me, but about Ranbir (Kapoor)”.
