Celebrities often find themselves under the scrutiny of fans and critics alike. The recent spotlight on Hrithik Roshan’s enthusiastic celebration of Hindu festivals has sparked a debate among netizens, with some alleging that it’s a strategic move influenced by his alleged tiff with Kangana Ranaut.
The social media frenzy began when pictures were shared of Hrithik Roshan participating in festivals and celebrating at home. Accusations of cultural appropriation and insincerity quickly followed, with some claiming that this newfound display of devotion was merely a commercial ploy.
Check remarks below:
At one hand he is pretending to be a #Hindu for commercial benefit and on the other he is dating a radical #anti #Hindu like #SabaAazad. People can see though this #Hrithik. You don’t have to prove with each and every festival how big a #Hindu you are. It’s a deepfake. pic.twitter.com/7SmR5PkSiT

This is an unmistakable pattern. He is wanting to be seen and counted as #Hindu. Nothing wrong with that. Just that he never did this earlier. It’s a reaction to #KanganaRanaut. Those who say that #Kangana is obsessed with #HR should note. It’s aavtally the other way round. pic.twitter.com/aQ1rtHCI5C

#DeepFake alert !!
This is extremely fake on part of #HritikRoshan. We all know it’s only because he thinks his films will benefit from this. Exactly copying of #KanganaRanaut just that in his heart he is anything but a devout #Hindu. pic.twitter.com/dZ0msfV6uM— Narendra Modi Fan (@narendramodi177) November 10, 2023
Amidst the controversy, some users even went so far as to label Hrithik’s actions as a “#DeepFake,” implying that his newfound enthusiasm for festivals merely imitating Kangana Ranaut’s public display of devotion.
The allegations have ignited discussions about the long-standing tiff between Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan, a saga that has played out in public forums for years. Kangana, known for her outspoken nature, has not shied away from calling out Hrithik on various occasions, adding fuel to the fire of their reported animosity.
In contrast, Kangana Ranaut has consistently and openly showcased her devotion towards Hinduism. Her unapologetic celebration of festivals, coupled with her vocal stance on various cultural and religious issues, has won the admiration of a section of the audience.
As fans and critics continue to dissect the actions of these Bollywood stars, it remains to be seen whether Hrithik Roshan’s festive fervour is a genuine expression of his faith or a calculated response to the narrative set by Kangana Ranaut, as suggested by social media buzz.
