Superstar Ranveer Singh recently made headlines when he was spotted drenched in haldi at the Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant haldi ceremony. The image, which quickly went viral, had fans buzzing with excitement as it reminded them of his iconic portrayal of Khilji and, more so, his memorable scene from the blockbuster film Padmaavat. The scene in reference features Ranveer Singh’s character, Alauddin Khilji, smearing his face with Holi colours in a sinister display of his eccentricity and unpredictability.

This striking resemblance between the real-life moment and the iconic film scene sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans, who couldn’t help but draw parallels. However, what many may not know is that the unforgettable moment in Padmaavat was a result of Ranveer Singh’s creative input.
