Rishab Shetty Laughs as Ranveer Singh Mocks Kantara's Daiva Scene; Fans Irked

Indian actor Rishab Shetty has faced backlash from fans after a recent incident at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. On the last day of the festival, Rishab's co-star Ranveer Singh praised his performance in the film Kantara, specifically referencing the Daiva scene.

However, Ranveer's comments took an awkward turn when he began mimicking the scene, making a bizarre facial expression. Notably, Rishab Shetty was present on stage and failed to intervene, leading many to feel that he was being disrespected.

The Daiva scene is a pivotal moment in Kantara, and fans have been vocal about their love for the film's unique storytelling and cultural representation. By mocking the scene, Ranveer's actions were perceived as insensitive and dismissive of the film's cultural significance.

Rishab Shetty's decision to laugh along with Ranveer has also sparked controversy, with many fans expressing their disappointment and frustration on social media. The incident has raised questions about the respect and appreciation for cultural differences in the entertainment industry.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Rishab Shetty said that he was taken aback by Ranveer's comments and that he had not intended to disrespect the film's cultural context. However, the incident has left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans, who are calling for greater respect and sensitivity in the entertainment industry. As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Rishab Shetty's fans are not pleased with the way their favorite actor was treated.
