During the promotions of Animal, Rashmika Mandanna recalled how Ranbir Kapoor surprised her with a homemade breakfast, a thoughtful act that moved the actress to tears.
Rashmika Mandanna, one of the most celebrated actresses in Indian cinema, once shared a heartwarming behind-the-scenes story that showcased the caring side of her Animal co-star Ranbir Kapoor.
While promoting the blockbuster film, Rashmika revealed how a simple act of kindness by Ranbir left her unexpectedly emotional and remains one of her fondest memories from the shoot.
The Breakfast That Brought Rashmika to Tears
During an interaction with the media, Rashmika recalled that she had been repeatedly complaining about her plain and repetitive breakfast while filming Animal.
To her surprise, the very next morning, Ranbir arranged for his personal cook to prepare breakfast especially for her.
Remembering the incident, the actress said:“During the shoot of Animal, I was complaining about how boring my breakfast was. The very next day, Ranbir got his cook to prepare breakfast for me. When I tasted it, I actually started crying. I told him, ‘How can the same food taste so good? I’m sorry, this is just too good.'”
The thoughtful gesture instantly touched Rashmika, who admitted she couldn’t hold back her emotions after tasting the meal.
Ranbir’s Love for Good Food
Rashmika also shared a light-hearted conversation that followed.
According to the actress, Ranbir asked her why she continued eating such bland food during the shoot.
She jokingly replied:“You’re blessed with a great cook. We are simple people; we can’t just bring a cook from Hyderabad.”
The exchange highlighted the warm friendship the two actors developed while working together.
Ranbir Kapoor has often spoken about his love for food, a passion believed to have been passed down through the legendary Kapoor family, including his late father Rishi Kapoor and grandfather Raj Kapoor.
