When This Luxury Brand Didn't Entertain Randeep Hooda Because Of His Looks

Last Updated: Randeep Hooda recalls being ignored at an Armani store in Venice while shopping for his first red carpet at the Monsoon Wedding premiere. Actor Randeep Hooda took a 'sad nostalgic trip' down memory lane as he recalled an incident from his debut international film appearance during the 2001 Venice Film Festival. Speaking to Hindustan Times during an event in Delhi, the actor opened up about being snubbed at an Armani store in Venice, due to his modest financial situation at the time. Ignored at Armani: Randeep's Early Red Carpet Struggle When Hooda reflected on his early career, he talked about how he travelled to Venice for his breakout performance in Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding. Even though the movie was a global hit and took home the Golden Lion at the renowned festival, Randeep was put in a difficult situation when it came to getting dressed up for the premiere. 'Well, I remember when I went to Venice for the screening of the film Monsoon Wedding at the Venice Film Festival. I didn't have any money, and a friend of mine gave me some money to go and suit for the screening," he said. He continued, 'So, I went to buy a suit at an Armani store in Venice. The people at the Armani shop in Venice didn't entertain me at all. When I looked at the labels, I figured out why. So I had nothing to wear." Fluorescent Pants, A Shawl and A Red Carpet Moment With no formalwear to sport, Randeep improvised with whatever he had. He ended up attending the premiere in bright green corduroy pants, a black shirt, and a red shawl loaned by a designer from the film. 'So I had these fluorescent corduroy jeans, green ones, and a black shirt… The designer from the movie gave me a red shawl. So the premiere of my first movie, watching it on such a big screen with crowds of people, signing my first autographs, taking photographs at that screening… And I was wearing fluorescent corduroy jeans with a black shirt and red shawl. I can't imagine what that would have looked like now," he added. Randeep's Take on Fashion Today When asked about his current fashion mantra, Randeep emphasised comfort over experimentation. 'I'm not too much of a fashion victim. I just pick up and wear whatever I lay my hands on," he said. 'Keep the classic and tick the right boxes… I want to be comfortable. So I like fashion that makes you feel like you and comfortable." The actor was recently seen at a fashion event in Gurugram and the film Jaat alongside Sunny Deol.

Randeep Hooda Bids Emotional Goodbye To His Horse Ranji: 'We Just Ran Out of Time'

Last Updated: Actor Randeep Hooda mourned his horse Ranji, who passed away at 23. The actor expressed deep sorrow on Instagram. Actor Randeep Hooda, widely known for his deep affection for animals, recently shared a heartfelt tribute to his horse, Ranji, who passed away at the age of 23. More than just a pet, Ranji was a loyal companion, a champion, and a symbol of resilience to the actor. In a moving post on Instagram, Randeep Hooda recounted Ranji's extraordinary journey — from being rejected by the army for his small size and a botched eye operation, to almost spending a life pulling tangas, until destiny intervened. A timely call between two army officers led to his rescue, and eventually, Ranji found his forever home with Hooda. 'I named him Ranji 'coz of his one eye like Maharaja Ranjit Singh," the actor wrote, recalling the horse's spirited, mischievous nature and zest for life. 'Due to his free upbringing by the Colonel he turned out to be a free spirited and a naughty child. He jumped out or crawled out of all kinds of stables we put him in. With his childlike vivacious personality there was never a dull moment with him around. Always wanting to be running free. He jumped that way too. He took me flying over many an obstacle, sometimes with my eyes shut for the scare of it and won me many a medal. He was always way superior to my riding skills at the time but he carried me well," the Veer Savarkar actor wrote. Ranji's story was also one of perseverance. He was diagnosed with laminitis — a painful and often fatal disease in horses — during his prime. But instead of giving up, Hooda gave him time, and with medical help, Ranji made a miraculous recovery and returned to jumping again. 'Heartbroken and almost not wanting to keep horses anymore, I bid you farewell my dear trusted friend," a heartbroken Hooda wrote, adding, 'My Ranji. We just ran out of time, brother."
