Ranveer Singh‘s quirky advertisement for his sexual wellness brand Bold Care left everyone talking about the unexpected collaboration between the Gully Boy actor and adult film actor Johnny Sins. But actor Bhavna Chauhan, who is also a part of the ad, did not even realise that she was going to share screen with Johnny Sins. Instead, she thought she was going to work with John Cena.

Bhavna, popular for her work in TV show Razia Sultan (2015), and films Shikara (2020) and Hasee Toh Phasee (2014) has opened up about how she auditioned for the ad with Ranveer and Johnny after finding the script “hilarious”.

Talking to India Today, Bhavna shared, “I don’t know why I misread the name. But to think of it, never in my dreams, I thought that Johnny would be part of an ad like this. I thought wrestlers do a lot of work in India and so I was foolishly thinking it was going to be John Cena. Only after I got the final details, I found out it was Johnny Sins.”

Bhavna spoke about working with Ranveer Singh and shared that she had a gala time working with the actor. “It was so much fun being around him. Our energies quite matched and he also told me how he liked my work,” she said. She shared that she did not get to interact with Johnny much but mentioned that “he was quite cooperative and professional.”

Bhavna also addressed the backlash that the ad has been receiving from several actors from the television industry. Actor Rashami Desai had expressed that she was displeased with the ad. Taking to Instagram story, Rashmi wrote a long note, calling the ad ‘humiliation to the TV industry’ that felt like a ‘slap’ on their faces.

Addressing the flak, Bhavna said that they weren’t trying to make fun of the TV industry. “They are marketers and understand the ripple effect of such things. Honestly, the original script was funnier but they altered it accordingly. The intention has always been to make it look like a normal scene from a TV show so that it’s viewed casually by everyone at home. They wanted the topic to be normalised.”
