‘Grow up,’ Ranveer Singh told by Internet after impromptu stage dive at Lakme Fashion Week injures some
A section of Twitter criticised Ranveer for his mistimed jump as 'publicity stunt'
New Delhi: Actor Ranveer Singh found himself at the receiving end of massive backlash on Twitter after his unexpected stage diving at the final day of the recently concluded Lakme
Fashion Week. As per several articles published in Hindustan Times, News18 and NewsX, Ranveer’s impromptu jump left several of his fans injured and hurt. After walking the ramp during
the show, the 33-year-old actor upped the energy levels as he grooved to Apna Time Ayega from Gully Boy amidst a sea of fans. In videos and pictures going viral on social media, he can
be seen fixing his hair and diving into an unprepared crowd of audience, reportedly leaving a few injured.
While a section of Twitter criticised Ranveer for his mistimed jump as “publicity stunt”, several tweets also claim that Ranveer’s jump indeed hurt a few during the show. “My friend got a
really bad sprain on his neck because of your stupid act. You are a married man now… Grow up a bit,” read a tweet while another angry user added: “No civil sense in the guy. A public
personality shouldn’t be this careless, no? Could have badly hurt the people.”
Meanwhile, a screenshot is being circulated by Ranveer’s fans on the Internet, in which a message from the verified account of Ranveer Singh reads: “I will be mindful henceforth. Thank
you for your love and concern.” A section of the Internet is claiming that’s Ranveer’s response to the mishap when informed by a fan.
Earlier, Ranveer walked the ramp at the fashion gala while rapping Apna Time Ayega and Asli Hip Hop from Gully Boy. Ranveer introduced the collection GullyGen – collaboration between
fashion label LoveGen and Team Gully Boy.
In the past, Ranveer Singh had also stage dived at the music launch of Gully Boy in Mumbai. On the release day of Simmba in December, Ranveer visited movie theatres to check audience
reactions and addressed the media atop huge film banners outside theatres.
Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy releases on February 14, in which he co-stars with Alia Bhatt.
