Ranveer was wearing a quirky yellow outfit and Brundle appreciated his look. He said, "The respect for that suit! Because that is punching." Responding to him, Ranveer joked, “You know the best part, Sir, I have to send it all back in the morning.”
Ranveer Singh's humble attitude won the hearts of his fans and netizens alike. One of the users commented, "Ranveer Singh, you have killed it on the grid walk at the Abu Dhabi F1" while another user said, "The acceptance to introduce himself is the best."
Another tweet read, “One has got to respect his humility.”, and another followed with, "Nothing wrong with it actually. Same as Maria Sharapova not knowing who Sachin was a few years back. Awards and all is a different topic but this should not be a basis for judging because can happen w any of your favs."
