Overview
- Rathee released a clarification video after users claimed his Dec. 25 upload followed Janhvi Kapoor’s story on the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das and was aimed at her.
- He argued it is unrealistic to produce a 30‑minute video within hours of her post and noted he had previously posted in support of Bangladeshi Hindus.
- He said the piece examines cosmetic procedures and their social impact and stated he did not pose questions to Janhvi in the video.
- Rathee explained the Janhvi thumbnail by citing YouTube A/B testing and added she is among the few actors who have publicly acknowledged procedures.
- Orry publicly defended Janhvi and labeled Rathee “anti‑nationalist,” as the video drew millions of views and prompted fans of multiple actors to push back.
