Sidharth Malhotra receives flak for 'rudely' denying to comment on RRR Oscar win

Sidharth Malhotra was termed as rude and angry after he refused to react to Naatu Naatu, The Elephant Whisperers Oscars win. His supporters, however, came to his rescue, directing netizens to watch the complete video of the paparazzi.

Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra on Monday completed the shooting schedule for his next thriller movie Yodha. Sidharth was seen sporting a black hoodie and matching track pants at the Delhi airport. When a paparazzi started interacting with him, the actor kindly responded to some of the questions till he entered the gates.

A post on Instagram speculated that the actor was angry with the media, however, his followers came to his rescue. Sidharth can be seen sprinting through the airport gates in a clip posted by the disputed Instagram account. "Press conference thodi chal raha hai," Sidharth retorted as the paparazzi questioned him about his opinions on Naatu Naatu and The Elephant Whisperers big win at the Oscars 2023.

Sidharth received considerable criticism for this specific video. Some thought Sidharth might have simply stated, "Congratulations to the team," while others thought he was being impolite. Soon his supporters defended him and attacked the Instagram account for misrepresenting the viewers by posting just a specific part of the video.

One of his fan pages directed Sidharth's Instagram account and asked its fans to watch the complete video of the paparazzi in which the actor was seen graciously responding to all the questions before entering the airport. As implied by the Instagram handle in question, Sidharth did not display any signs of rage in the complete video.

The actor, on the other hand, had already congratulated both the teams of Naatu Naatu and The Elephant Whisperers on his Instagram Story for winning Best Original Song and Best Documentary Short Film at the Academy Awards respectively. Meanwhile, Sidharth dropped a picture on Instagram with the Yodha team from a restaurant in Bangkok and captioned it "#Workfamily". The upcoming film is produced by Dharma Productions. Yodha, which also stars Raashii Khanna and Disha Patani in pivotal roles is scheduled to release in theatres on November 11.
