Sharad Kelkar had a garba dance sequence in the Ram-Leela. However, the actor had undergone knee surgery before. As a result, he found it difficult to get the steps right. At that time, Deepika Padukone stayed back and helped him learn and perform the steps. Recalling the helpful gesture by Deepika, Sharad was quoted saying:
“I had a knee surgery at that time and we were shooting for the song - Lahu muh lag gaya. I had to do the Garba while sitting. My physio told me, ‘You can’t sit because you just had a surgery, you can't bend below 90 degrees.' I was unable to do it. Because of pain due to surgery, I couldn't do it. But I remember when I went blank and couldn't remember the steps for the song. It was lunchtime, and Deepika stayed back, and she taught me. She said, ‘You can do it. I’ll teach you.' Somehow I managed to do it and she was damn sweet.'”
Apart from acting, Sharad Kelkar has had a successful run as a voice-over artist and has become the voice for some of the most renowned characters. He is mainly known to be the voice of Prabhas's character in the Baahubali series. In another interaction, the actor shared how he balances between the two roles. He said:
"I dub well but that doesn't mean that I'll do a certain type of role that requires a good voice. I am an actor first, I can perform and when it comes to my voice I can take it to any dimension. But, fortunately, in the last two years a lot of people have shown trust in me. I try to do different kinds of roles so that I am not stuck being typecast. I am waiting for the good times, the best to come.”
