Actor Ranveer Singh faced criticism for mimicking Daivas on stage during an interaction with Kannada actor Rishab Shetty at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. However, videos have surfaced showing Rishab warning Ranveer against mimicking the Daivas, sparking a debate about the actor's behavior. According to videos circulating on social media, Rishab politely asked Ranveer to refrain from mimicking the Daivas, but the latter continued to do so. Ranveer even went on to impersonate a scene from Rishab's film Kantara, saying 'anybody here want to see me in Kantara 3?' while taking off his sunglasses. The incident has sparked a backlash against Ranveer, with many criticizing him for disrespecting the sacred Tulu tradition of Dhaivaradhane. The Kantara team had previously urged fans not to mimic Daiva rituals, emphasizing that it's a sacred tradition, not a costume or performance. In a surprising twist, fans have dug out videos showing Rishab warning Ranveer against mimicking the Daivas, raising questions about why the latter continued to do so. Rishab's calm demeanor and restraint during the incident have been praised, with many appreciating his professionalism in the face of the situation. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting cultural traditions and the sentiments behind them. It also highlights the need for awareness and education about the cultural significance of Dhaivaradhane and the importance of approaching it with sensitivity and respect.
