The cricketer, known for his bold playing style and off-field swag, recently revealed his top pick to portray him on screen: Paatal Lok star Jaideep Ahlawat. What followed was a candid and quirky exchange involving community pride, Haryanvi roots, and even ghee-filled proposal stories—all adding a delightful twist to this unexpected biopic buzz.
Nitish Rana ’s biopic pick?
At a recent event, Nitish shared that he sees Jaideep as the perfect fit for his biopic, partly because they share the same community background. He also pointed out that Jaideep would be well-suited to handle Haryanvi dialogues if the film required it.
Rana’s style game
Rana also spoke about his personal style, known for being sporty and edgy. He revealed a strong liking for street-style fashion, contrasting it with Shah Rukh Khan’s more elegant wardrobe choices. He added that the only thing he’s ever borrowed from SRK is his ponytail—something he picked up after watching Pathaan.
Jaideep’s proposal story
During his appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, the host asked whether Jaideep’s wife thought his proposal was heartfelt or just some impressive acting. The actor playfully admitted that, as a Jaat, he wasn’t exactly skilled in the art of proposing. Jumping in with a laugh, Vijay Varma joked that Jaideep probably showed up with a carton of ghee to pop the question.Jaideep Ahlawat chuckled and agreed with Vijay Varma’s joke, admitting that it wasn’t far from the truth. He shared that his proposal was simple and rooted in his roots—he told his wife there would never be a shortage of milk and ghee in their home, leaving the decision up to her.After years of struggle in the film industry, Jaideep Ahlawat has finally cemented his place among Bollywood’s top performers. He began his journey with a small role in the 2010 film Aakrosh, but it was the 2020 crime thriller Paatal Lok that turned him into a household name. Since then, he has featured in several acclaimed projects like Jaane Jaan, Maharaj, and Jewel Thief. Jaideep’s persistence has paid off—not just with fame, but also financial success. He recently purchased two luxurious apartments worth Rs 20 crore in Mumbai’s upscale Andheri West locality, in the prestigious Poorna Apartments complex.
