“I don’t think I have ever seen so many people on set."
Johnny Sins shared his experience of what it was like to work with Ranveer Singh on a sexual wellness advert.
The hilarious Bold Care advert promoted a sexual enhancement pill whilst parodying an Indian soap, complete with family arguments and dramatic effects.
Viewers found the advert funny but were surprised to see US adult film star Johnny Sins playing Ranveer’s brother in the clip.
Johnny has now opened up about the experience.
On the Honestly by Tanmay Bhat podcast, Johnny said everyone was welcoming but regretted not seeing more of India.
Speaking to the host, who also wrote the advert’s script, Johnny said:
“It’s been a little hard because you come all the way here, to a country you have always wanted to see, really not be able to see it.
“The people have been amazing.
“Everybody has been extremely nice and what I have seen so far has been extremely cool.”
Johnny’s role in the advert was kept a secret before filming commenced.
He also admitted that the number of people on set was overwhelming as his usual shoots feature up to five people.
Johnny continued: “I don’t think I have ever seen so many people on set.
“The largest set I have seen in the US is maybe 15 people and most of my shoots these days are me and the girl usually. Most shoots are 3 to 5 people.”
Speaking about the Bollywood superstar, Johnny Sins said:
“Ranveer was awesome. That was the first time I met him.”
“He was so nice and everybody on the sets admired Ranveer and liked being around him.”

Meanwhile, Bhavna Chauhan, who played Johnny’s wife in the advert, suffered a blunder as she admitted that she thought she would be filming with former wrestler John Cena.
She explained: “I don’t know why I misread the name.
“But to think of it, never in my dreams, I thought that Johnny would be part of an ad like this.
“I thought wrestlers do a lot of work in India and so I was foolishly thinking it was going to be John Cena. Only after I got the final details, I found out it was Johnny Sins.”
On working with Ranveer, she said:
“It was so much fun being around him. Our energies quite matched and he also told me how he liked my work.”
Although she did not get to interact with Johnny much, Bhavna said “he was quite cooperative and professional”.
Bhavna also responded to the backlash the advert has been receiving from some TV actors.
Stating that there was no intention to make fun of the TV industry, Bhavna said:
“They are marketers and understand the ripple effect of such things.
“Honestly, the original script was funnier but they altered it accordingly.
“The intention has always been to make it look like a normal scene from a TV show so that it’s viewed casually by everyone at home. They wanted the topic to be normalised.”
