- In August 2023, during the pre-release event of “Kota”, Rana commented on Dulgai Salman’s patience on the sets, in stark contrast to Sonam Kapoor’s behavior, which he said who distracted attention. He said,
Durgai is my third year student at acting school. We became friends there. He is a very polite person. He is making a Hindi film and the producer is a friend of mine. The shooting location was near my home. I went there to meet Durgai. While he was standing in the corner with the scene boy, a Hindi heroine who was shooting the film was engrossed in talking on the phone about shopping in London with her husband. Her lack of concentration affected the quality of the footage and frustrated those on set. Despite the disruption caused by the situation, Durgai remained patient and understanding, defusing tensions and maintaining a harmonious environment. “
After receiving backlash for Rana’s comments, Sonnen responded by sharing a quote from former US first lady Eleanor Roosevelt on Instagram. However, Rana later apologized to Sonam through a post on X, explaining that they often joked and regretted his misinterpreted words.
