Popular TV actor who was last seen in a pivotal role of 'Mihir Arora', the brother of main lead 'Raman Bhalla' (originally played by Karan Patel) in Star Plus' popular show 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein', got trolled badly for his Janmashashtami post this weekend. Raj, who's also a photographer and traveler, posted a picture from the bash he had with his actor-friends Karan Kundra, Abigail Pande, Drashti Dhami, Kritika Kamra, girlfriend Pooja Gor and Rahul Sharma during Janmashtami but was trolled right after. In the picture, the gang of friends happily pose for camera while beer cans, alcohol bottles and empty glasses can be seen lying at the table placed in front of them. Raj wrote in caption- "When two Libran brothers @kkundrra & Me meet after aaaaaaagesssss it becomes a long epic #Mumbai night ! Happy Krishna Love & Consciousness to all today, #Krishna surely was a #Libran no doubt about it in my Mind !".

He did not wish the fans "Happy Janmashtami" but did mention Lord Krishna in his message along with the picture and the fans objected to their drinking on this occasion.

To which Raj replied with- "He ushered n the kalyug with the biggest war ever...& u care about a drink damn....!"

Another fan by handle name 'Manmarziyaa' wrote to him- "So what it is kalyug and 21st century..but that doesn't mean you have the freedom to drink... On janmashtami people keep fast for whole day ...and you are drinking and dragging Lord Krishna...you know how pure this festival is? And you are giving silly reason for drinking. You and your whole gang lost one follower."

Raj simply replied to the 2nd user- "Have a drink & calm down".

Another thing that's drawing the attention of the fans in this picture is the presence of ex-couple Karan and Kratika, 'Kitani Mohabbat Hai' co-stars, in one frame. While Karan Kundrra has been dating Anushka Dandekar for few years now Kritika has dated a publicist Siddharth Bijpuria after break up with Karan. She started dating Uday Shankar Gauri post that and was also in headlines last year over reports claiming she got engaged to her boyfriend Uday Shankar Gauri, which the couple denied.

Raj Singh Arora who had quit 'YHM' in 2016, 3 years after it's launch, has been active in the industry since 2004 when he debuted on small screen with Star One popular show 'Remix' in which he played 'Yuvi'. He appeared on few more TV shows since, including 'Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii' and 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein'. He also appeared in some Bollywood  films like 'Teri Meri Kahaani' and 'Gabbar Is Back'.
