Courting controversy, actress Kangana Ranaut called popular YouTuber Dhruv Rathee a 'dimwit' amid allegations that he charged a fee of Rs 60 lakh for making an 'insincere' video on her.
Retweeting filmmaker and journalist Eray Cather's tweet, the actress said that she could get the YouTuber jailed for his false remarks on her house demolition.
Although Cather's tweet did not name Rathee specifically, speculation was laid to rest after Dhruv responded to it dismissing all such claims.
"Lol, is this bulls**t fake news referring to me?First of all no one paid me any money to make Kangana video. Secondly, I’m not planning to make any video on SSR. And thirdly, I really wish my sponsoring fees was 30 Lakh per video, how rich would I be,” he said.
Cather then responded by writing: “One: I’ve not named anyone. If you feel it’s you, you’re welcome. Two: About your fees & deals, @dhruv_rathee— I will definitely talk about it, but my focus is not that as of now. So wait for a while. Three: Am glad you dropped the vid, or not planning now. You answered it.”
Dhruv's video titled 'Reality of Drama' has clocked close to four million views on YouTube and talks about the controversy surrounding the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Rhea Chakraborty and events that ensued since then, including the demolition of Kangana's house by Brihannmumbai Municipal Corporation.
