Mumbai, October 05: When Ranbir Kapoor accidentally sprayed an insecticide instead of a deodorant on his underarms, he had to take a shower to get rid of the strong smell
You can call it a case of mistaken identity. When Ranbir Kapoor reached out for his deodorant in his make-up room, little did he know that he would lay his hands on a can of insecticide instead. It was only when Ranbir had sprayed the insecticide on his underarms that he realised his folly but by then it was too late. He had an extreme burning sensation and was smelling so strongly of the insectide that he had to take a shower to get rid of the smell.
A source says, “Someone had unintentionally kept a can of insecticide on Ranbir’s make-up table as the production guys were using it to keep the flies away. When Ranbir came near his table with the intention of spraying the deodorant, he was chatting with a crew member.
So without looking at the label of the bottle, he just picked it up and sprayed it on his underarms. Immediately, he got a burning sensation and that’s when he looked at the bottle and realised his mistake. However, he could do little about it then as he was immediately called for the shot. So despite the pain, he went on the sets , only to have the crew members burst out laughing. Later, when the stench was stronger, it was impossible to continue working, and Ranbir was asked to do something about it. So he took a shower to get rid of the smell and continued shooting thereafter. After that Ranbir has promised himself to be doubly careful about his deodorants.” Ranbir remained unavailable for comment.
