Twitter reacted to a video of Ranbir Kapoor at an event
where he gave a "wild" response to a reporter who asked him about
uncertain times in Bollywood. The actor's response left many in awe.
Actor Ranbir Kapoor recently responded to a reporter at an
event who asked him about Bollywood's uncertain times. The event was held to
promote his upcoming release Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, alongside Shraddha
Kapoor for the first time. Responding to the question, Ranbir cited an example
of Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan which continues to dominate the box office even
after four weeks after its release last month.
A video of Ranbir from the event has surfaced online. In the
video, a reporter asked Ranbir, "Ranbir Bollywood ka abhi thora dicey chal
raha hai…(Bollywood is currently in a dicey phase).” Interrupting her, Ranbir
answered, “Kya baat kar rahi hai? Pathaan ki collection dekhi nahi tune? (What
are you saying? Have you not seen the box office collection of Pathaan?)”
As the journalist continues to ask another question during
the media interaction, Ranbir further asked her, “Pehle, aap kaunsi publication
se ho (Which media publication you are from?)” After she replied, the actor
mockingly told her, “BBC News. Abhi toh aapke bhi kuch chal rahe hai na aaj
kal…uska kya? Pehle woh jawab do (I think something is going on with your
company these days. What about that, you tell me first).” His words left
everyone in the room in splits.
Responding to the video, a Twitter user said, "Bhai
savage." Another added: "Epic, especially the last one when he asked
the reporter."
The popular media company came under scrutiny earlier this
month after the Income Tax Department conducted raids on its offices in Delhi
and Mumbai as part of an investigation into alleged tax evasion.
Meanwhile, Ranbir is waiting for the release of Tu Jhoothi
Main Makkaar. Directed by Luv Ranjan of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety fame, the film
has Shraddha Kapoor in the female lead along with Dimple Kapadia, Boney Kapoor,
Anubhav Singh Bassi and Rajesh Jais in pivotal roles. Its release is scheduled
for March 8, 2023.
