Ranbir Kapoor recently came under fire online for a comment the actor made on Alia Bhatt’s weight when the couple were promoting their upcoming film, Brahmastra. This led netizens to dig up some moments in the past where Ranbir seemed to behave disrespectfully with his female co-stars during film promotions. His interactions with Katrina Kaif while promoting their 2017 film Jagga Jasoos in particular drew ire from many netizens, who criticised Ranbir for speaking over and interrupting Katrina on numerous occasions. But despite some of the awkwardness, the two also shared in a few fun-filled moments as well, in particular a moment where Ranbir hilariously took a dig at Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan.
For the uninitiated, Hrithik had filed a case against Kangana in 2016, after the duo starred together on Krrish 3. Hrithik had accused Kangana of stalking him. This led to Kangana filing a counter charge against Hrithik, alleging that the latter filed the lawsuit in an attempt to cover up the duo’s alleged affair. The suits were eventually dropped due to lack of evidence.
During the promotions of Jagga Jasoos, Ranbir was asked to imitate the dances of a host of celebrities, and Katrina had to guess who they were while holding up their pictures. For Hrithik, Ranbir danced the iconic step from the song Ek Pal Ka Jeena, and Katrina guessed it rightly as Hrithik’s.
But when Kangana’s name came up, Ranbir proceeded to do the same dance, and followed it with the motion of getting his throat slit. Katrina instantly guessed that Ranbir was referring to Kangana, and burst into laughter. Ranbir then said “Sorry Hrithik, I had to use you to this to win this game. I didn't mean it. I don't know what the truth is”.
