Ranbir Kapoor, often labelled as the ‘chocolate boy’ of Bollywood, took audiences by surprise with his intense and never-seen-before avatar in the trailer of his upcoming movie, Animal. In a recent conversation, Ranbir admitted to feeling apprehensive about certain scenes in the film, worrying if they might come across as too intense. However, the actor revealed that his wife and National Award-winning actor, Alia Bhatt played a pivotal role in easing his doubts.

A video clip of Ranbir discussing how Alia supported him through certain challenging scenes in Animal has been making rounds online. In the clip, he expressed, “Alia and me speak so much about each other’s work. I really respect her as an artiste and I really respect her mind and how she thinks. Every scene or everyday when I going to shoot the film, I would discuss it with her and she has helped me with so many scenes. She has helped me with scenes where I was scared as an actor that ‘Is it sounding too wrong?'”

He added, “I have never pushed the boundaries so much as a character. I have always tried to portray goodness on the screen. She played that barometer, saying, ‘Listen it is fine. It’s a character and it is making sense. There is an idea and thought behind it.’ She has been a strong support when this film is concerned.”
