Anushka Sharma has evolved as an actor, person: Ranveer Singh

Kolkata: Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh on Sunday heaped praises on "Dil Dhadakne Do" (DDD) co-star and former flame Anushka Sharma for her growth as an actress and as a person.

"It was fantastic working with her in 'Dil Dhadakne Do'. She has evolved as an actor and person. It was wonderful to work with her after a few years. We did our first few films together. She taught me a lot," Ranveer said here during the film's promotion.

The duo were seen in "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl" and "Band Baaja Baaraat".

In the Zoya Akhtar-directed DDD, Ranveer and Anushka form a part of the ensemble cast including Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Shefali Shah, Farhan Akhtar and others.

Anushka, who is currently dating Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, was however, missing from the Kolkata leg of the promotional.

Quizzed on whether he was missing Anushka, Ranveer gave a guarded response.

"I am missing the entire starcasta Priyanka, Shefali and others. However, it's a boys' night out," he said referring to Anil and Farhan's presence at the promotional.

DDD is set to release on June 5.
