Refreshing old memories, the actor said that in 2002 he was shooting for his film Lakshya in Ladakh, when he got a call from home that his mother was not well. But he could not leave the set until the shooting was over.
He also revealed that during that time he was also involved in the “biggest scam” of his life with an actress.
He said, “During this time, I also faced the biggest scandal of my life with another actress. Since I was unable to deal with it, my brother asked me to come with him to the US for some time. I did a six-month acting course in the US and borrowed money from my brother. After returning from the US, I started shooting for The Great Indian Comedy Show in 2005.”
He said, “At that time, two of my long-pending films got the green signal for release and within a week they hit the theatres consecutively and my work was loved by the audience. After those films, I finally felt that my life as an actor had stabilized and I had arrived.”
their relationship
Pooja and Ranveer were very good friends of each other, but later both of them started living together in an apartment. But, later the relationship between the two deteriorated and they got separated.
In the early 2000s, Pooja had alleged that Ranveer would get angry after drinking alcohol and physically assault her. However, Ranveer rubbished these allegations and denied the accusations of being an alcoholic and abusive boyfriend.
Ranveer married actress Konkona Sen Sharma in 2010 and the couple welcomed son Haroon in 2011. The couple separated in 2015. Pooja fell in love with Manish Makhija, also known as Udham Singh. The two got married in 2003 but eventually separated in 2014.
Before Ranveer, Pooja had participated in the last season of Bigg Boss OTT. She was among the finalists last year.
