If you’ve been scrolling through entertainment news lately, you’ve probably seen the chatter—Ranveer Singh demands 3 to 5 vanity vans on set. Ranveer’s lavish requirements. Bollywood’s entourage culture.
Sounds dramatic, right?
Well, hold that thought. Because Ranveer’s Dhurandhar co-star, Gaurav Gera, just stepped in to clear the air. And honestly? The truth is way more fun than the rumours.
🎬 What Actually Happened?
So here’s the scene: Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan and her cook Dilip recently visited Gaurav Gera’s house in Mumbai. Before they got down to cooking aloo-baingan (yes, really), Gaurav gave them a little house tour and opened up about his experience shooting Dhurandhar.
And of course, the vanity van topic came up.
Farah, being Farah, jokingly said: “What a talent. 5 van aur dedo usko, Dhurandhar ke baad.” (Translation: Give him 5 more vans after Dhurandhar.)
But Gaurav wasn’t having it. He calmly replied: “I didn’t see these many vans.”
And just like that—rumour debunked.
🚽 The Real Ranveer, According to Gaurav
Here’s my favourite part of the whole story.
Gaurav and Ranveer had done a Chutki video together years ago (yes, Gaurav’s iconic character). And Ranveer remembered. During a long script reading session for Dhurandhar, Ranveer followed Gaurav to the washroom—and teased him in that voice:
“Chutki, washroom jaayegi?”
I mean. Come on. That’s hilarious.
Gaurav describes him as: “He is super fun, quite a brat. He is wonderful.”
No mention of demanding vans. Just a guy who does funny voices in the loo. Sounds like a keeper to me.
🚐 But Wait—Where Did the Rumour Even Come From?
To be fair, Bollywood does have a vanity van culture. Director Sanjay Gupta once shared a wild story about an actor (he didn’t name names) who apparently had six vans:
- One for sitting… let’s just say, unclothed
- One for makeup and hair
- One for meetings
- One for working out (with a trainer, assistant, driver, and maintenance person—that’s six people for one van)
- Plus more for stylists and their assistants
So yeah. The rumour mill probably just grabbed that template and slapped Ranveer’s name on it.
But Gaurav’s firsthand account? Zero vans spotted beyond the usual.
🏡 Also, Gaurav’s House Is Gorgeous
Okay, side note—because I can’t not mention this. Gaurav gave Farah a tour of his Mumbai home, and it’s beautiful.
Think minimalistic. White walls. White furniture. Neutral palette everywhere. Indoor plants adding that calm, peaceful vibe. It’s simple, elegant, and honestly? Goals.
Then they headed to the kitchen to make bhindi fry and bharva aloo baingan. Comfort food at its finest.
💬 So, What’s the Verdict?
Ranveer Singh doesn’t need five vans. He’s just a “super fun brat” who does Chutki impressions near the washroom.
And honestly? That’s way more entertaining.
What do you think—are these vanity van rumours just Bollywood’s favourite pastime? Or is there some truth hidden underneath? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
