Amidst Jamia Row, Ranvir Shorey’s Joke On #MeToo Backfires; Says, “It’s Time To Quit Twitter”

Actor Ranvir Shorey took to Twitter to criticise the ongoing anti-CAA protests, unlike most Bollywood celebrities who have shown solidarity with the nationwide students’ stir. After being trolled heavily, Ranvir tried making light of the situation saying all the trolling was his MeToo ordeal, following which he was slammed even more severely. Finally, the actor said it is time to quit Twitter.

“Trust Indian citizens to lose their sh*t over a law that doesn’t affect Indian citizens. #CAAProtests #India #BharatBananaHai. The CAA doesn’t affect students directly. Yet they’re being made the face of these protests,” he tweeted.

Ranvir added: “I might not think it protest worthy, but I did say I’m not a supporter of #CAA, waaaay back here.”

His tweets did not gone down well with a section of social media users.

Some of the tweets directed at him were outright abusive. “Tere jaise ch****e thodi na kisi bhi cheez ka face banenge, someone has to step up na,” one user wrote.

Ranvir compared the comment to #MeToo movement.

“Wah. Here’s my #metoo story,” Ranvir responded.

Reacting to the actor’s #MeToo tweet, several users further slammed him.
