Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh is currently in the spotlight, not just for his latest film Housefull 5, but for a recent incident that has upset fans across the internet. A video from the film’s premiere has gone viral, showing Riteish behaving in a way that many found disappointing — especially a young fan.
What’s in the video?
The viral clip is from the Housefull 5 premiere. In the video, Riteish is seen walking with his wife Genelia D’Souza, surrounded by security and photographers. A child approaches him and requests a photo, but Riteish is seen pushing the child’s camera away with his hand and walking off without acknowledging him. This gesture has sparked criticism from fans.
Fan reactions
Social media users quickly reacted. One person wrote, “These stars care for no one.” Another commented, “He makes a film like Housefull and then shows this kind of attitude.” Many users expressed disappointment, with some even saying they would unfollow him.
Housefull 5 Box Office Collection
Despite the controversy, Housefull 5 continues to perform strongly at the box office. The film reportedly has a budget of ₹225 crore and has already crossed ₹220 crore in worldwide collections. Even after three weeks in theatres, the movie is earning in crores daily.
It remains to be seen whether this backlash will affect the film’s further earnings and whether Housefull 5 will cross the ₹250 crore milestone.
