Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon walked the ramp for designer Manish Malhotra's fashion show at Varanasi's Namo Ghat. Before the show, they visited the Vishwanath temple and talked about their spiritual experiences. A video of Ranveer talking about his experience in Varanasi seems to have been altered to make it sound like the actor is endorsing a certain political party for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
In the doctored video, Ranveer is heard saying, "This is Modiji's purpose. He intended to celebrate our sad lives, our fear, our unemployment and inflation. Because our India is now heading towards a time of injustice at such a pace... so we should never stop demanding our development and justice - this is why we must think and vote."
