When actor Ranveer Singh attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix recently, he was pulled in by commentator Martin Brundle for a short bite on camera and that's when the former racing driver admitted that he had forgotten who Singh was.
The moment which could have turned awkward or sour was rescued by Ranveer Singh who introduced himself as a Bollywood actor and entertainer from Mumbai.
When Brundle greeted him during the grid walk, Ranveer Singh told him that he was “on top of the world". “I can feel the exhilaration and the adrenaline." That was when Brundle confessed, “I have momentarily forgotten who you are. Can you tell me please?"
Without missing a beat, Ranveer Singh replied, “I’m a Bollywood actor, Sir. I hail from Mumbai, India. I’m an entertainer."
Brundle then went on to compliment the actor's outfit to which Singh joked that he would have to return it the next morning.
