(Photos: Dhruv Rathee, Janhvi Kapoor/ Instagram)Content creator Dhruv Rathee recently made headlines for his remarks on Dhurandhar. In his latest YouTube video, Rathee once again took aim at certain Bollywood actresses. However, he faced strong backlash from netizens, many of whom linked his comments, particularly those directed at Janhvi Kapoor, to her earlier condemnation of Dipu Chandra Das’s lynching in Bangladesh. Rathee has since responded to the criticism and online trolling.In a YouTube video released on December 25, Dhruv Rathee claimed that several Bollywood actresses, including Deepika Padukone, Janhvi Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Shruti Haasan, Shilpa Shetty, Kajol, and Priyanka Chopra, had undergone cosmetic procedures. Following the video’s release, some viewers linked Rathee’s remarks about Janhvi Kapoor to her earlier response to a lynching incident in Bangladesh. On Saturday, Rathee addressed the controversy by sharing a video on social media, captioned, “Did I mock Janhvi Kapoor for her post on Bangladeshi Hindus?”Also Read: Deepika Padukone got ‘skin lightening treatments’, claims YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, actor’s fans defend her: ‘He was against Dhurandhar so…’ View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dhruv Rathee (@dhruvrathee) In the video, Dhruv Rathee started by reading a headline and said, “Wake up Hindus, Janhvi Kapoor posted for Bangladeshi Hindu and Dhruv Rathee made a video questioning her beauty.” He added, “Bhagwan ne tumhe dimag diya hai toh kyun nahi istemal karte uska. Matlab jo IT cell wale post dalte rahenge woh tum andhadhun yakeen karte rahoge. Pehli cheez toh jis din Janhvi Kapoor ne post dali usi din maine andhe ghante mein video daldi thi. Kya yeh realistically possible hai ke main ek hi din ke andar adhe ghante ka video edit karke, research karke, shoot karke… Sab kuch ek hi din mein karke dal doon. (When God has given you a brain, why don’t you use it? This means that any post that the IT cell puts up, you will blindly believe. First of all, the day Janhvi posted this, in the next half an hour, I put up my video. Is it realistically possible for me to edit, research, and shoot the video and release it in a day?)”Also Read | Aditya Dhar addresses Dhruv Rathee’s Dhurandhar criticism as film crosses Rs 900 cr mark: ‘A video maker got swept away by criticism’Pointing out that he also posted a reel on Bangladeshi Hindus, Rathee said, “Toh main uss cheez ko kyun criticise karunga. Main tum logun ki taranh nahi hun ke idhar udhar se ghum phir ke kisiko indirectly criticise karun. Jo bolna hota hai woh muh pe bolta hun. Aur teesri sabse interesting cheez yeh hai doston ke ye pura video plastic surgery pe hai aur uska kya impact padta hai society mein. Iss pure video mein maine Janhvi Kapoor se koi sawal nahi kiya… Question kahan hai iss video mein. (Why will I criticize this? I am not like you, who will randomly and indirectly criticize; if I have to say something, I say it to their face. Thirdly, my friends, the entire video is on plastic surgery and its impact on society. In the whole video, not a single question has been asked to Janhvi Kapoor.)”On Christmas, Janhvi Kapoor had condemned the lynching incident in Bangladesh. She wrote on Instagram, “What is happening in Bangladesh is barbaric. It is slaughter, and it is not an isolated incident. If you don’t know about his inhumane public lynching, read about it, see the videos, and ask the questions. And if, despite all of this, you feel no rage, then it is exactly this kind of hypocrisy that will destroy us before we know it. We will continue to cry about things halfway across the globe while our own brothers and sisters are being burned to death. Extremism in any and every form needs to be called out and condemned before we forget our humanity.”Janhvi Kapoor’s good friend Orry also reacted to Dhruv Rathee’s comments and said Janhvi might not even know who he is. He further went on to call Dhruv an anti-nationalist.Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd
