Dhairya has just started to make his mark in Bollywood, having acted in Uri: The Surgical Strike and ’83. Like many of his peers, he had to go for many auditions. When he heard about this role, he decided to lie about his height.
Speaking to Bombay Times he said, “The thing is that I am quite tall. It has become a joke now. Shakun keeps teasing me even now. I am 6’4” and I thought that might become a problem. I wondered what if they think that I am too tall and send me packing? So, during the auditions I had mentioned that I am 6’2” feet tall.”

He went on to add, “When I bagged the project I told the team that I am actually 6’3” feet tall. Then finally when the film got shot I was like ab toh yeh kuch nahi kar sakte and finally revealed that I was 6’4” feet tall (laughs). Till date Shakun taunts me saying that I am slouching my shoulders to get through the auditions.”

Dhairya also opened up about working with the ensemble cast saying, “When I met Karan (Johar, producer) for the project, he gave me the biggest and the warmest hug. He told me you are here, and you are here for a reason. You are good, now just enjoy it. Don’t take any pressure and keep doing what you are doing. His words were very reassuring and comforting. As for Deepika, I was just smitten by her. She is everything you would expect her to be and more. We know of her as this humongous star and a fabulous actor, yet she’s so simple and warm.”
Here’s our honest review of the movie, tell us what you think in the comments below!
