This is what Nihar Pandya Feels About Being Tagged As 'Deepika Padukone's EX-BOYFRIEND'...

Model-turned-actor Nihar Pandya, will soon make his Bollywood debut with Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi.

In a recent interview to a section of media, when Nihar was asked how he feels about being tagged as Deepika Padukone’s ex-boyfriend and not really addressed as an actor primarily, he replied, “I don’t get worked up over it. Yes, even the press note about my acting debut that was sent out referred to me as ‘ex-boyfriend’ but there is not much I can do about it right now,”

Nihar also added that Deepika and he are on good terms now, “Deepika and I are cordial with each other and I hope people’s perception changes once they see my work in the film.”

Talking about his debut, where Nihar essays the role of Bajirao II the actor said the role required a lot of physical transformation. “Krish (the director) not only auditioned me as an actor but checked out my action and horse-riding skills before signing me. I’ve trained with Nicholas Powell, one of Hollywood’s biggest action directors, for two months. The character is the film’s hero,” he stated.

Interestingly, it was Nihar who had accidently hurt Kangana during an action sequence because of which she got 15 stitches on her forehead. “She was a thorough professional, treating it like the accident that made it easier for me. We had rehearsed the scene more than a 100 times, it was just a matter of timing,” he explained.

Well, we hope Nihar is praised for his talent and the tag of being just an ‘ex’ leaves him soon.
