Saurabh Shukla recalled he was offered expensive rum costing ₹30000 a bottle by Ranbir Kapoor, when they shot for a film in Leh. The veteran actor, who has worked with Ranbir in films such as Jagga Jasoos, among others, was seemingly speaking about their time together during the shoot of Shamshera (2021).

Saurabh Shukla also said that after him and Ranbir finished the bottle of rum, he offered the actor Old Monk. He added that he usually drinks Old Monk and coke, saying he likes it since it is 'easily available and is the cheapest'.
In the latest episode of Unfiltered By Samdish, Saurabh Shukla was asked what does he drink, when he said, 'rum and coke'. Speaking about how he likes Old Monk the most because it is cheap, the actor said, "Maine bohut mehengi rum bhi pi hai. Tees haazar rupay ki bottle aati hai. Mujhe woh Ranbir Kapoor ne pilayi thi, usko Nagarjuna ne pilayi thi, quatre gaya hua tha (I have had expensive rum too, which costs ₹30,000 a bottle. Ranbir Kapoor made me drink it, and it was Nagarjuna who made him drink it first. It wasn’t a full bottle as a quarter was not in it, when Ranbir opened it)."
When asked if Ranbir had offered him a bottle that was almost empty, Saurabh said, "Khali karke laya kya matlab? Ya toh wo pi chuka hoga… Woh Leh mein aya hua tha, toh usne kaha 'sir kya pi rahe hai?' Toh maine kaha Old Monk. Toh kehta hai 'sir main apko pilata hoon'. Toh usne pilayi. Phir dono ne khoob pi. Toh woh bola ki 'sir thodi kam pad gayi'. Maine kaha haan. Toh maine kaha 'Old Monk piyoge?'Bola 'haan sir piyunga'. Phir maine usko Old Monk pilayi (No, he must have drank from the bottle. I was in Leh when Ranbir asked me, ‘Sir what are you drinking?’ I said Old Monk, so he said ‘I will make you drink something nice’. We both drank a lot, and after the bottle got over, he said it was less. Then I asked him if he will drink Old Monk, he said yes and then I made him have Old Monk).”
