Akshay Kumar starrer Bhooth Bangla promotions recently turned into a talking point after viral clips led to unexpected trolling against Wamiqa Gabbi. Social media users claimed she ignored Rajpal Yadav during public appearances, which quickly sparked debate among fans. However, those present during events saw the situation differently as light moments were taken out of context. As the buzz grew stronger, Rajpal Yadav finally reacted and addressed speculation bringing clarity to what actually happened. His response not only defended Wamiqa but also highlighted how camera angles and edited clips can create misleading narratives around simple interactions during film promotions.
What did Rajpal Yadav say about the controversy?
Rajpal Yadav dismissed the entire situation, calling it a misunderstanding created by the camera perspective. He explained that moments captured from different angles can appear misleading even when nothing unusual is happening. He said, “Ye kaise hota hai ki jaisa apka angle camera hota hai, main vahan kisi doosre ko kar raha hu, wo bechari kisi doosre ko kar rahi hai, lekin wo camera angle esa laga.”
He further added, “In a video with Akki paaji, there are three girls standing there and hum log jaise scene nahi banate, you stand there, I’ll stand here and girls will stand in between but if people find entertainment in that too, then there’s no problem. We’ve honestly laughed enough over Wamiqa Akki paaji and all of this.”
What actually happened in viral video?
One viral clip showed Wamiqa Gabbi moving quickly toward Ektaa Kapoor while Rajpal Yadav appeared to adjust his hair. Viewers assumed she ignored him leading to trolling online.
