Actor Hrithik Roshan has reacted to Indian copywriter and social media influencer Freddy Birdy’s recent Instagram post, which referenced the viral “We Need to Apologise to Hrithik” trend. Responding in the comments section, the actor urged people to prioritise facts over online narratives, saying it was important not to get carried away by social media trends.
The comment comes at a time when social media has been abuzz with discussions surrounding Kangana Ranaut after she made remarks against Gen Z. Netizens have been revisiting old interviews, videos and past controversies involving the actress. Amid the online discourse, the phrase “We Need to Apologise to Hrithik” has also gained traction, prompting widespread reactions across platforms.
It all started after Cockroach Janata Party’s Saurav Das said that his friends were surprised Kangana was targeting him and even joked about the reason behind it. She called him “useless” and “unemployed” in an Instagram post. Das shared, “One of my friends said maybe she is after my life because I look a little like young Hrithik Roshan. This is what my friends told me. I was pleasantly surprised. Why should someone like her attack someone like me?”
Following his remark, the phrase “We Need to Apologise to Hrithik Roshan” began trending across social media, with many users referencing the actor’s highly publicised legal dispute with Kangana Ranaut that dates back to 2016. One such post was done by influencer Freddy Birdy, which drew a response from Hrithik. While many social media users have linked the viral trend to the long-running dispute between Hrithik and Kangana, the actor has refrained from commenting on the online narrative itself. Instead, Hrithik said he continues to wait for “facts and truth” to come to light. In the comments section, Hrithik responded, “My friend, siding with ‘A’ just cause you don’t like ‘B’ anymore is a small part of the larger systemic issue plaguing our society. I’ll wait, for when the context to it is the right one, and motivated by facts. That would be fair. But then again, who cares anymore right?” Have a look:
Hrithik and Kangana found themselves at the centre of one of Bollywood’s most high-profile controversies in 2016 after she referred to him as her “silly ex” in an interview. Hrithik denied they had ever been in a relationship, following which the two exchanged legal notices and made a series of public statements, with the dispute also involving allegations over emails and other claims. The controversy dominated headlines for months and has remained one of the industry’s most widely discussed legal and public feuds.
