NBA India’s brand ambassador Ranveer Singh spent the weekend as a spectator after playing at the NBA All-Star Celebrity game. He was seen spending time with former basketball players like Karl Malone, Reggie Miller, Shaquille O’Neal; Marvel stars Jonathan Majors, Michael B Jordan, Simu Liu and filmmaker Spike Lee. Singh was dressed in bright colours with a yellow T-shirt, pink puffy jacket, blue pants, and a hat.
While on the court, he also got a chance to talk to actor-director Ben Affleck on the court. Ben was promoting his upcoming Prime Video film ‘Air’ and had come to watch the game. Ranveer is a self-acclaimed basketball fan.
When named India’s brand ambassador in 2021, Ranveer had said in an interview, “I have been a basketball fan since I was a child. It is one of the most electrifying sports in the world and NBA stars have been shaping pop culture for decades now. From Michael Jordan to Allen Iverson to LeBron James, the NBA has developed a unique culture within its players and fans. The players’ impact on and off the court is something that I admire.”
On the work front, the actor's next project is Karan Johar's ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’, where he reunites with his ‘Gully Boy’ co-star Alia Bhatt. The film will be released in June 2023.
