Dhruv Rathee Reply: YouTuber Dhruv Rathee's 'Fake Beauty' video sparked a heated debate on social media. The video featured images of Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, leading some fans to accuse Rathee of targeting Janhvi for her post regarding Bangladeshi Hindus. Following the escalation of the controversy, Dhruv Rathee provided a full explanation in his official video, clarifying that his intention was not to target any celebrity.
The Video's Purpose
In his video, Dhruv Rathee raised questions about celebrities' plastic surgeries and their social impact. The video was titled 'Fake Beauty' and featured a thumbnail with before-and-after photos of Janhvi Kapoor. The sole purpose of the video was to demonstrate how plastic surgery affects people's perception of beauty and the kind of mindset it fosters in society.
Rathee stated that he did not make any personal criticism of Janhvi Kapoor in the video. The video was solely contextualized within the social impact of surgery and the establishment of standards in society.
What is the Entire Controversy
After the video was released, many fans on social media claimed that Dhruv Rathee was targeting Janhvi because of her recent post concerning Bangladeshi Hindus. Some users also stated that the video's objective was to question Janhvi's beauty.
Following this controversy, Dhruv Rathee shared a new video in which he responded to fans and critics. He stated that people were making accusations without thinking and verifying facts.
Dhruv Rathee's Clarification
Dhruv Rathee said in the video, "God gave you a brain, why don't you use it? Stop blindly trusting the posts that the IT cell keeps putting out. I uploaded a half-hour video on the same day Janhvi Kapoor posted. Is it possible for me to personally target someone?"
He further stated that he himself has created a reel on Bangladeshi Hindus, so criticizing him in relation to that is incorrect. Rathee clarified that he speaks directly and is not afraid of anyone. He said, "I am not afraid of your father, nor am I afraid of any Bollywood celebrity."
Reason for Janhvi's Picture in the Thumbnail
Dhruv Rathee also explained the reason for using Janhvi's picture in the thumbnail. He said that among the famous actresses in Bollywood, Janhvi is the only one who has publicly acknowledged her surgery. Therefore, showing her before-and-after photos was important in terms of the video's objective.
Rathee also clarified that no direct questions were asked of Janhvi Kapoor in the video and that it was solely focused on the social impact of plastic surgery.
Fans' Reaction
Following Dhruv Rathee's video and his statement, mixed reactions were seen on social media. Some fans praised his courage and said he clearly stated his purpose. However, some critics still believe that the video targeted a celebrity.
