Bollywood witnessed a humorous moment recently when superstar Aamir Khan mistakenly referred to Ranbir Kapoor as “Ranbir Singh” during a promotional event. The lighthearted mix-up, which was part of a commercial for a fantasy sports app, quickly went viral, leaving fans in splits.
The Incident
The amusing exchange unfolded when Aamir Khan, while introducing Ranbir Kapoor to cricketers Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant, accidentally called him “Ranbir Singh,” confusing him with fellow actor Ranveer Singh. Ranbir, known for his wit, didn’t let the moment slide and jokingly remarked, “Aise kaise Kapoor ko Singh bol diya? Main unko Salman bulaun toh?” (How can you call Kapoor Singh? Should I call him Salman instead?)
A Playful Rivalry
The banter didn’t stop there. Aamir, in his usual jovial style, responded that he wouldn’t mind being called Salman but would draw the line at being mistaken for Arbaaz Khan. The exchange escalated into a mock rivalry, with Ranbir quipping, “Saath (60) ke ho gaye hain, sathiya gaye hain. Retire hone bolo unko.” (He’s turned 60 and lost it. Tell him to retire.)
Star-Studded Cameos
The commercial also featured appearances by Bollywood actors Arbaaz Khan and Jackie Shroff, along with Indian cricketers like Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravichandran Ashwin. The playful feud between Aamir and Ranbir culminated in a challenge to settle their “rivalry” on the cricket field, adding to the ad’s entertainment value.
Fan Reactions
Fans have lauded the advertisement for its clever writing and stellar casting, with many appreciating the camaraderie and humor shared by the stars. The lighthearted exchange has not only entertained audiences but also highlighted the fun side of Bollywood’s biggest names.
This delightful episode has added a fresh twist to the promotional campaign, making it a hit among fans of both cricket and cinema.
