Ranaut also revealed she got multiple opportunities from Sanjay Leela Bhansali production but she couldn’t do them for some reasons. The actor said that whenever she visits him at his house, he treats her very gently with a mild smile always on his face. Interestingly, in 2020, Ranaut said that she was offered a role in Bhansali’s one of the most successful movies Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela but it didn’t work out for her and she still regrets the mistake.

“Over the years there were song/ roles that were offered to me by SLB production, for some or the other reason I couldn’t do them, still today if I want to see him or go to his house just to chat with him, he sits before me like a living God smiling gently, showering kindness and admiration through his eyes, a man of few words SLB ji is simply wonderful (red heart emojis).” she added. 

“He wanted to get a sense of me as an artist but we didn’t get an opportunity and it didn’t work out. It will be one of my biggest regrets.” Ranaut was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
