The man with the Govindasque sartorial sense Ranveer Singh can be really mean without sounding so. He has worked with India’s heartthrob Deepika Padukone and the sultry siren Priyanka Chopra in quite a few films. Both gals are alongside him in another movie Bajirao Mastani. Describing his experience with two actresses, Ranveer S has been quoted to have said that Priyanka C is like khicchdi and Deepika P is like biryani. The former is a meatless lentil-based rice dish and the latter has meat in it. What a mean fellow.
