Ranbir and Anushka have worked together in many films, and their on-screen chemistry has often translated into memorable performances. But not everything behind the scenes has been smooth sailing. One such incident from the shoot of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil reveals a rare moment when Ranbir lost his coolness.

During the filming of an intense emotional scene, Anushka had to slap Ranbir’s character. According to interviews and behind-the-scenes accounts, they were doing multiple takes of the same shot. After several slaps, Ranbir reportedly became visibly annoyed and told the crew, “There is a limit to it.”

Ranbir wasn’t angry at Anushka personally, but he felt the repeated slaps — done for the sake of perfection — were pushing the boundary. Anushka later shared in a candid interview that Ranbir even joked about it afterward, but in that moment, it did seem a bit too real.

Incidents like this remind us that even actors, who are trained professionals, have their limits — especially when scenes involve physical action. It also shows the kind of dedication they put into getting the shot just right. Thankfully, the two stars remained good friends and worked through the scene professionally.
