Paresh Rawal says ‘it was stupid’ to hit audience member on show: ‘My BP shot up, so I stopped using Twitter’ |

A veteran player Paresh Rawal He has never been one to mince his words. Although his popular performances have earned him a lot of respect over the years, his outspoken views on social media have often made him the subject of controversy. Looking back at the time, the actor admitted that his online presence did more harm than good. In a recent interview, Paresh spoke about his anger, complained about several of his tweets, and revealed that his habit of engaging on Twitter had also affected his health.Talking about his status, Paresh while talking to Vickey Lalwani, “Look, I have nothing to gain from anyone, I don’t want to let anyone down. I am not driven by greed. Whatever I have, I already feel that God has given me more than enough. So I am not greedy. Why would I do this to someone? That is why I am direct and honest with everyone. “The actor also recounted an earlier incident in which he admitted to punching an audience member during a performance. Calling his behavior “stupid”, he said he regretted losing control. “Regarding the scene where I talked about hitting someone… what happened was that they kept making comments. There were comments after comments, even from other actors. It was stupid. I jumped into it. I was completely wrong. It happened, but I won’t repeat it. I regret. I really do. An artist must be in control of himself and the situation. “Reflecting on his social media presence, Paresh admitted that one of his most criticized tweets – directed at the author. Arundhati Roy – should not be sent. “Yes, I wrote it.” I don’t have to. I shouldn’t have said that.”He revealed that he has now taken a long break from Twitter due to his mental and physical problems. “I almost stopped using Twitter now because it was taking a toll on my health.” In fact, my blood pressure skyrocketed. My doctor told me very clearly: don’t watch the news channels before going to bed, and don’t read the newspaper until the afternoon when you wake up. If there is an important matter that you need to know, it will find its way to you. You don’t have to sit there and pretend you’re the best at everything. “The actor admitted that he, too, contributed to the misunderstanding that is often associated with social norms. “Many people see social media as their dumping ground, and I am also responsible for that. No one is listening, so you just write it. I don’t abuse people. My sarcasm is sharp enough. I will not stop using profanity. But even with that insult, I shouldn’t have done it. That is very bad and poisonous.”Paresh reiterated his criticism of film critic Anupama Chopra for her review of ‘Dhurandhar’. Although he believed that the film needed a proper discussion, he said that criticism should always be constructive. “I felt Dhurandhar was a well-made film. Some people will like it, some won’t, that’s great. But then write about it. Give constructive criticism. That’s how it should be.” Not the other way around. That is what I thought was wrong.”Explaining why he called Chopra “Miss Irrelevant” in his post, the actor added, “Yes, but the truth is, nobody listens to what you have to say. You can write whatever you want, and it doesn’t change anything. Instead, it becomes a bandwagon. Well, they’re doing their job, that’s fine. “When asked about the online abuse and threats that Chopra allegedly received after her tweet went viral, Paresh strongly condemned the behavior. “It’s wrong. You can’t treat someone like that. She’s a lady, you know. She’s an educated, cultured woman. She’s Vikram Chandra’s sister, for God’s sake.”He also remembered the kindness that both of them did Vidhu Vinod Chopra And Anupama Chopra after the controversy, revealed that later she came to talk about the work of her son, the actor.
