Rakul Preet Singh Feels De De Pyaar De 2 Dad R Madhavan Can Be Her Father IRL
Speaking about working with R Madhavan in the role of a father and daughter, Rakul Preet Singh said, “But I was very little when the Maddy and romantic era came. Haan, but we’ve seen it na — it doesn’t matter. On screen tumko dikh raha hai na ki technically he can be my father. We even calculated that he can technically be my father in terms of age and all. But I feel when you’re on set, you don’t look at it like that, right? It’s a very clinical approach. And then you start believing, because you have to believe he’s my father.”
She continued, “There are so many scenes with him where, as a father–daughter emotion, you have to believe it, you have to see it from that lens. And I think from day one, you start looking at it from that lens. Did you connect with him on that level? I think I did. I wouldn’t say a fatherly level — I don’t know if that’s the connect — but I really connected with him. And I think I really look up to him. He is such a wise person, such a smart, intelligent, balanced gentleman. One of a kind. And I really look up to him with a lot of respect.”
