Ranjit responded, “I have made an impression on him,” when Lahren questioned whether his on-screen persona had an impact on him and his life. The sister-in-law of Kapil Dev had come for medical attention. Handshakes and side hugs are customary greetings. She felt a little uneasy in such a circumstance. Then, Kapil Dev said, “It’s not what you think.”
In the interview, Ranjeet also talked about changing his name from Gopal Bedi to Ranjeet and claimed that it was Sunil Dutt who suggested that he should obtain another ‘filmy name’. Ranjit urged the Mother India actor to pick a name for him after Sunil inspired him with the stories of Dilip Kumar and Rajesh Khanna. “To me, he was like an older brother. He showered me with affection. He never gave me a break, but I did receive a lot of affection from him, which was more than a break. I was instructed to take a letter by him. Like, I went with “R”. He suggested “Ranjit” when he was driving. I paused before answering “yes” after a brief period of silence.
Previously, Ranjeet spoke about his family’s reaction to his first molestation scene in the movie Sharmili during an appearance on the well-known comedy programme The Kapil Sharma Show. When the Sharmilee picture appears, the ghar’s lights are turned on (I was thrown out of my house when Sharmilee released). So I pulled Rakhi’s hair and attempted to rip her clothing, Rakhi ke jo baal-wal khiche, uske kapde-wapde fadne ki trysari kiya.
Ranjit claimed that he was informed that by taking on such a position, he had disgraced his father and that instead, he ought to have portrayed an army major, army officer, air force officer, or doctor. The actor was questioned, “How would he react when he returns home to Amritsar?” Apna kaun muh leke jayega Amritsar mein.
