Saumya Tandon on Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Performance: “Silent Acting Is Harder Than You Think”

We often talk about loud, dramatic performances when discussing Bollywood’s best. But sometimes, the most powerful acting happens in complete silence — and that’s exactly what Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain fame Saumya Tandon noticed about Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar.

What Did Saumya Tandon Actually Say?

In a candid conversation with Mirchi Plus, Tandon — who played the fierce Ulfat, wife of dreaded criminal Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna) — opened up about a specific scene that left her in awe of Ranveer’s craft.

She pointed to a deeply emotional moment where Singh’s character silently witnesses his fellow spy being brutally punished. Instead of an explosive reaction, Ranveer internalized the character’s fear, anger, and grief — and conveyed all of it with just his eyes and body language. Tandon praised this as a masterclass in restrained acting, noting it is far more difficult than high-octane, dialogue-heavy performances.

She also highlighted her own favourite personal moment — the scene where she slaps her on-screen husband Akshaye Khanna — calling it cathartic and powerful.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge — What to Expect

With Dhurandhar: The Revenge releasing on March 19, 2026, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The sequel is a prequel in structure — taking audiences back in time to reveal how and why Jaskirat Singh Rangi became the dangerous operative Hamza Ali Mazari. Saumya Tandon has confirmed she is returning in her role as Ulfat, albeit in a shorter capacity.

The original Dhurandhar was a massive box office hit, cementing Ranveer Singh as a bankable action star beyond his earlier flamboyant persona. The sequel carries enormous expectations, and early advance booking numbers suggest it’s tracking toward a massive opening.
