The internet is currently a digital battlefield following a viral video from Anant Ambani’s birthday festivities in Jamnagar. The clip, which appears to show Ranveer Singh giving a brief smile and walking away while Shah Rukh Khan attempts to strike up a conversation, has sent social media into an absolute meltdown.
On X , the reaction was swift and harsh from King Khan’s massive fanbase. The hashtag #SRK began trending alongside “disrespectful,” with many fans claiming Ranveer’s “newfound stardom” has gone to his head.
“There is a hierarchy in this industry for a reason. You don’t just walk away from the King,” one viral tweet read. Others pointed out SRK’s supposedly “left out” expression, with emotional edits of the clip garnering thousands of bookmarks.
However, the Ranveerians were quick to fire back. Many argued that the 10-second snippet is a classic case of “paparazzi baiting.” Defenders of the Rocky Aur Rani star claim that the room was loud, chaotic, and that Ranveer likely didn’t even realize SRK was speaking to him.
“People are reaching so hard,” commented one Instagram user. “They literally shared the stage together later that night. Stop creating drama out of a 5-second awkward angle.”
A significant portion of the “internet investigators” believe the tension is real, stemming from the Don 3 transition. Since Ranveer took over the mantle from SRK, fans have been looking for cracks in their relationship.
- The “Humble” Camp: Believes SRK was being the bigger person by reaching out.
- The “New Era” Camp: Argues that Ranveer is currently the “center of gravity” at these parties and was simply busy.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Bollywood controversy without the memes. Within hours, the clip was edited with sad music, “alpha” captions, and comparisons to awkward social interactions we’ve all had at weddings.
