Since then, Chopra has been on a spree of giving interviews, attending various ceremonies and revealing many things, which most people didn’t know about him before. Now, recently in an interview, Neeraj Chopra expressed his love for the Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda saying that he has seen many of his films. He particularly talked about the film ‘Laal Rang’ where Randeep Hooda, also from Harayan played a Haryanvi character and according to Chopra he got the authentic Haryanvi accent in the film.

So much so that, he enacted one of the dialogues from the film, “Hawa mein parnaam bauji (Greetings in the air, father).” Chopra added that he really likes Randeep Hooda and his acting and has seen three of his films including ‘Laal Rang’, ‘Sarbjit’ and Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Highway’.
