Soon after, a user on Twitter who got offended by Riteish’s post landed on his profile and accused the actor of being biased towards Hindu festivals only. The Ek Villain actor came up with a hilarious reply.
On Thursday, Riteish shared a post that mentioned the prices of popular Indian sweets such as laddu, jalebi, kaju barfi and chocolate. Along with that, it included a hefty cost one would have to pay to lose the weight after festivals. It also added a caution that read ‘choose wisely’.
Riteish put out the tweet with the caption, “I thought I should warn you !!!!”
A Twitter user who could not relate to Riteish’s post retweeted his post and asked Riteish in Hindi: “You people are enlightened only during Sanatani (Hindu) festivals only? Eid ya New Year ya Christmas par muh mein dahi jama lete ho!”
Reacting to the tweet, Riteish said, “Sorry sir – Main Vegan hoon, dahi nahi khaata (Sorry sir, I’m vegan. I don’t eat curd.)”
In a recent chat with Arbaaz Khan on his show Pinch Season 2, Riteish and his wife Genelia Deshmukh had addressed numerous mean comments about them on social media. One such comment, which was read out to them by Arbaaz Khan called Genelia a ‘vulgar aunty’ whose ‘overacting’ would embarrass even children.
“Besharam (shameless), cheap, vulgar aunty always overacting. Doesn’t suit your age and face especially when you’re married and got two kids dadi amma (grandmother). Even kids will be shocked and embarrassed with all your overacting. They’ll be like, ‘Even we don’t act anything like this,’” the comment read.
Shocked Genelia had replied to the troll and had said, “I don’t think he is having a good day at home. I think he is very frustrated, bechara. I mean, I don’t know. I hope you’re well, bhaisaab. I hope you’re really okay at home.”
Riteish, along with his wife is currently seen as the host of Flipkart Ladies vs Gentlemen season 2. The actor has teamed up once again with Fardeen Khan for his upcoming film Visfot.
