Actor-producer Chitrangada Singh also had a similar opinion as she spoke about Ranveer being artistic and creative. In an interview with ETimes, she said that we live in the 21st century and choosing to wear a sari, a skirt, shorts, or anything else is entirely one’s personal decision. Complimenting Ranveer and his body, she said that he is a “piece of art.”

She further added, “I think he looked amazing, to be honest. He’s got a great body to flaunt and it’s a piece of art, I suppose. And, you have to have the right kind of eyes to be able to see art and things. If you see wrong, if you see dirt in everything then it’s probably something to do with your mind. I’m sorry to say. I mean tomorrow if a girl wears a skirt and goes, you find that wrong, there’s something sick in your own head to have a certain opinion.”

Among others who have supported Ranveer are Alia Bhatt, Arjun Kapoor, Vidya Balan and Parineeti Chopra.
