Bollywood actor Naveen Kaushik is currently riding high on success as Dhurandhar continues its thunderous run at the box office. However, his journey in mainstream cinema began much earlier. Naveen was part of the 2013 blockbuster Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, which marked Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s first on-screen collaboration after their breakup. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, the actor revisited his experience on the film and opened up about Ranbir and Deepika’s equation during the shoot.
Naveen Kaushik says Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were very professional
Naveen revealed that Deepika and Ranbir maintained a completely professional relationship on the sets of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. He said, “Like everyone else, we also thought a fight might break out at any time, and we were almost anticipating that if something happened, we’d witness it and have some gossip to talk about. But nothing like that happened. They were absolutely professional on set.”
He added, “Our shoot was extremely gruelling, not because of long working hours, but because of the locations. We were shooting on very steep mountains, sometimes climbing ten feet straight up and shooting there. Despite that, there were always parties with the entire cast and crew in between. They were very cordial and very nice. There was no sparks happening whether romantic or jealousy. They were very fun to be with and always open to talk with other crews.”
