Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh is facing backlash after imitating a scene from Rishab Shetty's critically acclaimed film Kantara: A Legend Chapter-1 at the 56th International Film Festival of India in Goa. In front of Rishab himself, Ranveer mimicked the sacred Daiva scene, referring to the local folk gods as a 'female ghost.' The move sparked outrage online, with many labeling him a 'clown' and questioning his judgment just days before the release of his upcoming film Dhurandhar. However, Ranveer has since apologized for his actions, expressing his admiration for Rishab's performance and acknowledging that he may have inadvertently hurt sentiments. In an Instagram post, he stated, 'My intention was to highlight Rishab's incredible performance in the film. If I've hurt anyone's sentiments, I sincerely apologize.' During the event, Ranveer had praised Rishab's performance in Kantara, calling it 'outstanding.' Despite Rishab's apparent amusement, Ranveer attempted to mimic the scene again, which may have been misinterpreted as disrespect. With the release of Dhurandhar just days away, this controversy may have an impact on Ranveer's public image.
