Veteran actor Ranveer Singh has yet again found himself in the public eye not for his upcoming film “Dhurandhar” but for seemingly hurting religious sentiments. As of now he is facing online trolling following the surface of a video of him which has left many stunned. Netizens are irked over the manner in which Ranveer appeared to mimic Maa Chamunda leading to public outcry.
The bizzare incident happened in the midst of the closing ceremony of IFFI 2025 held in Goa. Amidst hosting the event Ranveer Singh lauded Rishab Shetty for his performance in the film Kantara. However, his simulation of a climax scene led to a significant uproar on social media.
It’s learned that Ranveer remarked, “he watched Kantara Chapter 1 in the theatre. What can I say, Rishab Shetty’s performance was outstanding. Especially when a female ghost enters you, you delivered a brilliant shot.” After saying this, Ranveer Singh also made a mockery of the climax scene, widening his eyes and sticking out his tongue. Following this, he asked the audience if they would like to see him in ‘Kantara 3’ and urged them to convey this message to Rishab Shetty if they did.
This didn’t go down well with fans who accused him of insulting ‘Maa Chamunda Devi’
The video clip of quickly went viral. People on social media began trolling him severely, calling his comment disrespectful. Netizens pointed out that what Ranveer Singh referred to as a ‘female ghost’ was not a ghost but a divine power and the character of Maa Chamunda Devi. Many considered Ranveer’s statement an insult to divinity and faith.
One user expressed their anger, writing, “Ghost..? This is an insult to Mother Goddess.” Another commented, “Ranveer Singh should choose his words carefully. This was absurd.” A third user wrote, “She was not a ghost. She herself was a goddess. How ignorant he is.”
Ranveer Discussed the Success of Kantara Chapter 1
