Reacting to the post, one user commented on Youtube wrote โI never thought I would see Ranveer Singh in a Sufjan Stevens song. Beautiful song thoโ. Another user wrote โI WAS NOT EXPECTING RANVEER SINGH OUT OF EVERYTHING โ.
while a third remarked โfirst osho and now ranveer in sufjan song referenceโ.
Last year, Ranveer Singhโs widely circulated nude photo series for Paper magazine had caused quite a stir. The actorโs photoshoot for the magazine paid homage to the 1970s pop icon Burt Reynolds, who famously posed nude for a Cosmopolitan magazine shoot in 1972.
Nonetheless, this particular photoshoot had Ranveer in legal soup, as he was interrogated by the Mumbai Police following a complaint of obscenity filed by an NGO and womenโs rights activists. The complaint pertained to his posting of a nude image of himself on Instagram, resulting in charges under IPC sections 292, 293, 509, and the IT Act.
In response to these allegations, Ranveer asserted that one of the photos from the magazine spread had been manipulated and altered.
