Dhruv Rathi’s outspoken words: YouTuber gives direct reply to Bollywood on Janhvi Kapoor’s thumbnail controversy

News India Live, Digital Desk: In the world of social media, nothing can be said as to when someone will come face to face. Often we see that big screen stars keep the atmosphere warm with their words and status, but nowadays digital creators are also giving them equal competition. The latest case is related to famous YouTuber Dhruv Rathi and Bollywood actress Jhanvi Kapoor, which is currently the talk of the town. What is the matter? Actually, this whole thing started with a video thumbnail of Dhruv Rathi. Jhanvi Kapoor’s picture was used in this thumbnail, due to which many people got angry on social media. Some fans said that Dhruv was inappropriately using the pictures of celebrities for clickbait. At the same time, some people were looking at it by linking it to PR and image management. Dhruv Rathi’s befitting reply. But the thing which is most discussed is Dhruv Rathi’s answer. Dhruv is known for his outspokenness and here too he refused to back down. Taking a direct stand, Dhruv said that he is not going to be suppressed by the influence of any film star to express his opinion. He gave a strong message by clearly saying – “Neither am I afraid of your father (Boney Kapoor) nor does the power of any Bollywood celebrity make any difference to me.” This thing has spread like wildfire. Dhruv believes that it is everyone’s right to criticize on a public platform and if they are talking about an issue, then no attempt should be made to intimidate them about the things used in it. This incident has once again sparked the old debate on Digital vs Bollywood. Does Bollywood think that it can still follow the same old path where no one asks them questions? On the other hand, there are creators like Dhruv Rathi whose fan following is no less than that of any big actor. This statement of Dhruv shows how independent today’s internet user and content creator considers himself. Opinion of fans is divided. People on the internet are divided into two groups. While some people are in favor of Jhanvi Kapoor and are calling it a matter of personal respect, Dhruv’s supporters say that what he said is ‘pure truth’ and it is important to challenge the eco-system of Bollywood. Now this fight is not just about a thumbnail, but it has become a fight of freedom versus power. It remains to be seen whether there is any legal reaction on this from Jhanvi Kapoor or her family or it will remain just a tweet-wise. The reality is that in today’s era, content speaks more than influence, and Dhruv has proved it once again with his words.
