In an interview with Instant Bollywood, Vedang Raina addressed the discussions surrounding his resemblance to Ranveer Singh. Vedang acknowledged that the topic blew up after a few social media posts, though personally, he remained unconvinced. He shared, “I still don't really see it. But I just thought that if so many people are seeing something then there must be some truth to it. But I personally didn’t see it.”

Having met Ranveer only once or twice and never discussing the resemblance with him, Vedang expressed flattery at being compared to someone he admires as both an actor and a performer. He described it as a "great thing."

Vedang revealed that throughout his life, he has consistently been compared to others in terms of looks. He stated, “I’m hearing Varun Dhawan also, then young Shah Rukh Khan also, Ranveer Singh has been going around a lot. At least some comments I have seen. Now, I can’t take this pressure on myself. It’s just that it’s like a resemblance.”
