Gauahar Khan has come to the defense of fellow actor Ranbir Kapoor, who recently faced criticism for allegedly ignoring his wife, actor Alia Bhatt, at the Raj Kapoor Film Festival in Mumbai.
Gauahar supports Ranbir Kapoor amid trolling
Gauahar believes the backlash directed at her Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year co-star was unjustified. She took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the matter.
She re-shared an Instagram Reel defending Ranbir, titled "The Ranbir Kapoor they don’t post about.”
The video, posted by a fan page, offers a different perspective on Ranbir’s behavior at the event. The footage shows Ranbir being affectionate with his wife Alia Bhatt and also helping Randhir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s father. The video aimed to highlight his caring and compassionate side.
Sharing the video, Gauahar wrote, “Seriously so unfair! I’m glad there are such posts that show how unfair certain posts are, that can unnecessarily put someone in a certain light. Ranbir is a gentleman!”
The original caption of the video read, “The side of Ranbir that social media doesn’t show, they cut a 2-sec clip out of context and run a whole lot of negative PR with it. Meanwhile, this is the reality. It’s crazy to me how easily people can be fooled.”
Alia also showed support for the video by liking the post, subtly endorsing the sentiment shared.
About Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are often under intense scrutiny on social media, with some users frequently criticizing Ranbir’s behavior, calling him a “misogynist” and an “unsupportive husband.” Recently, Ranbir was trolled after a video went viral in which Alia spoke about him asking her to wipe off her lipstick. He was labeled as toxic and misogynistic.
In an interview with Zoom, Ranbir’s sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, addressed the negative buzz, stating, “They adore each other. They’ve created the most beautiful ever child, Raha. She is so so adorable. They are amazing parents. So, I don’t think they really care about what people say."
