Did Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor apologize for AIB Roast at IIFA?

If reports are to be believed, IIFA was a ride full of laughter, and the credit goes to the two actors who made an impressive stage debut, hosting the award ceremony for the first time.

It’s no hidden fact that Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor are mischief personified. We all got a glimpse of this in the infamous AIB Roast that took place last year, where the actors sportingly got roasted by a team of stand-up comedians, leaving the audience in splits. Even though the YouTube video was banned and FIRs were registered against both the actors as well as several others, the actors didn’t budge from talking about the reactions for the roast even at the IIFA night.

The heartthrobs, who first worked together in Gunday, even had no qualms admitting their horrible performances in the film; however, they did so in their own mischievous style in front of the heaving Putra stadium in Kuala Lumpur.

They started out in a serious tone, admitting to an act that offended many people and involved a famous director (hinting at Karan Johar who was present with them on the AIB Roast). However, just when everyone thought that they are serious about the roast, the duo quickly apologized for doing Gunday, which was a major critical failure.

Not only that, they also sang a parody on Aamir Khan, who was very vocal on christening AIB roast as 'violent' rather than 'funny'. The actors sang "Hume maaf karna, O Aamir Khan. Hum kabhi nhi lenge Reema Lagoo and Farida Jalal ka naam." they sang. Actually, they had offended senior actors like Farida Jalal in the infamous roast, which had led to several negative reactions from the industry and Aamir Khan as well.

Hinting big time at the alleged romance between Ranveer and actress Deepika Padukone, Arjun didn’t leave a chance to tease his friend as Deepika came on stage to receive her award for the Woman of the Year.

Later, Ranveer Singh went down on his knees in front of Deepika and gave her a red heart-shaped balloon, as Arjun stood in the corner, giving his friend the space that he wanted.

Many actors, like Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor were at the receiving end of their jokes, because of Shahid’s alleged link-ups with every actress he has worked with, and Ranbir’s recent duds on Box office, like Roy and Bombay Velvet.

Apparently, Ranveer also asked Shahid if he would be invited at the latter’s wedding, the preparations for which are underway, to which he got downright rejected. Shahid later went on to win the award for the best actor in a leading role, for his titular role in the multi-award winning movie Haider.
