Ranvir Shorey recently opened up about his old retort to Jaya Bachchan’s statement on the outsider vs nepotism in Bollywood debate
Ever since the untimely demise of Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020, debate around ‘outsider vs nepotism in Bollywood’ has been prevalent. Ranvir Shorey, who recently participated in the Anil Kapoor-hosted controversial reality show Bigg Boss OTT 3, has been vocal about the mistreatment of ‘outsiders’ in Bollywood for quite sometime now. From speaking about it on his official social media handles to sharing his views during recent interviews, his honest answers have been making the headlines.
During an interaction with Siddharth Kannan, Shorey was asked about his comment on Jaya Bachchan’s ‘thaali’ remark in respect to the ongoing ‘outsider vs nepotism in Bollywood’ debate. Well taking about the same, the actor denied making the comment on the veteran actress-turned-politician’s remake. He explaiend how back then the comment was spreading like wild fire and it was his opinion on the matter.
The Chandni Chowk To China actor, quoted by Bollywood Shaadis, said, “I did not say it on Jaya ji’s remark, whatever she said at that time was all over the internet. Everybody was talking about that thaali. So even I also gave my opinion but it was not in reply to her.”
He went on to further add that he must have been very angry to make such a comment back then. While people often compliment him for putting down his thoughts honestly on social media. However, he added that he feels that he should take a step back. Ranvir added, “Today if I have to express the same thing. I would probably not express it so sarcastically. I didn’t have to be so angry about it. Maine ye tab likha hai jab mere andar voh gussa panap raha tha, double treatment that met it out in Bollywood. Uspe I think this expresses my anger.”
