Ranveer Singh is currently in the news for his film “Dhurandhar.” He was in the headlines even a few days before its release, but due to a controversy. He hurt people’s sentiments by imitating the goddess Chamunda in a scene from South star Rishabh Shetty’s film “Kantara Chapter 1.” However, he later apologized. Now, Rishabh has reacted to this.
Rishabh Shetty Reacts to Ranveer Singh’s Mimicry
“Kantara” actor and director Rishabh Shetty told Hindustan Times, “It makes me uncomfortable. Although most of the film is cinema and acting, the divine element is sensitive and sacred. Wherever I go, I request people not to perform it on stage or make fun of it. It is deeply connected to us emotionally.” Rishabh Shetty didn’t name anyone, but his statement came after Ranveer Singh mocked and insulted him. Ranveer praised Rishabh on stage at IFFI, called the goddess Chamunda a “female ghost,” rolled his eyes, and imitated her by sticking out his tongue. The video quickly went viral, and he was criticized.
Ranveer Issued Public Apology
However, seeing the controversy escalate, Ranveer Singh apologized via social media. He wrote, “My intention was to praise Rishabh’s brilliant acting in the film. As an actor, I know the hard work it takes to perform that particular scene the way he did, and I have immense respect for him. I have always deeply respected every culture, tradition, and faith of my country. If I have hurt anyone’s sentiments, I sincerely apologize.”
