I will confess, I’m not one who gets easily tired of gushing about Ranveer Singh. Not just because of this drop-dead gorgeous looks, though of course, THAT is a factor. But also because this Bandra boy is one of those actors who’ll go to great lengths to stay true to the character he’s playing on screen.
Be it a a ‘Dilli ka launda’ in Band Baaja Baaraat or a Peshwa of the Maratha kingdom in Bajirao Mastani, Baba has been known to adapt his looks to his character faster than you can say chameleon! All we poor star-struck souls can do is marvel at his dedication.
Which is exactly what happened when Ranveer posted a picture of his transformation from Padmavati Padmaavat‘s Khilji to Gully Boy‘s Divine, the rapper. Mind = blown!

The internet was of course totally baffled at how this Hulk had suddenly reverse Neville Longbottom-ed into Bruce Banner.
But after the initial astonishment had waned, it was time for the trolls and meme makers to descend upon this picture and give their own hilarious twist to it.
Cue in the before/after and expectation v/s reality jokes!

Of course, even we couldn’t resist! And considering it is January and all that…
Jokes aside, Ranveer’s transformation is quite splendid and deserves all the accolades its getting him.
Though knowing all that we do know about Ranveer’s atrangi sense of humour, I know Baba would just laugh along with these, maybe even come up with one himself!
