Ranveer Allahbadia comes across as a privileged, low-IQ guy with no real connection to the grassroots sentiments of India.
What he did on India’s Got Talent was a minor issue, at best deserving of social media backlash, but what he did now is far more serious. His attempt to whitewash the India-Pakistan conflict as merely “military vs military,” while our soldiers risk their lives to protect and avenge the sentiments of common Indians, is not just tone-deaf, it’s unforgivable.
There should be no redemption for this. Mark my words: sooner or later, his PR team will roll out some emotional campaign, perhaps a donation to a military welfare fund or a staged act of patriotism, to push the narrative that “Ranveer is more Indian than his critics.”
Don’t fall for it.
There should be zero tolerance for anyone who tried to peddle Aman Ki Asha narratives at a time when national sentiment was raw and our forces and civilians were in harm’s way, be it Ranveer, Ambati Rayudu, that third-rate Bigg Boss contestant, that fake UP tourism ambassador lady or any others from this privileged echo chamber.
