一 | Ranveer Singh has publicly apologised after criticism erupted over his mimicry of a pivotal scene from Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1 during the IFFI 2025 closing ceremony in Goa. The moment drew strong reactions because Rishabh was seated in the audience, and many felt Ranveer’s imitation came across as insensitive, especially after he referred to the daivas as “ghosts.” Social media users quickly called out the act, saying it disrespected cultural beliefs shown in the film.
On Tuesday morning, Ranveer addressed the situation through a statement on his Instagram Stories. He clarified that his intention was only to appreciate Rishabh Shetty’s craft, writing, “My intention was to highlight Rishabh's incredible performance in the film. Actor to actor, I know how much it would take to perform that particular scene in the way that he did, for which he has my utmost admiration (sic).” Emphasising his respect for cultural diversity, he added, “I have always deeply respected every culture, tradition and belief in our country. If I've hurt anyone's sentiments, I sincerely apologise.”
The controversy began when Ranveer recreated Shetty’s Daiva performance from the film’s climax and praised him directly from the stage. During his bit, he said, "I watched Kantara Chapter 1 in theatres, and Rishab, it was an outstanding performance, especially when the female ghost (Chamundi daiva) enters your body - that shot was amazing." While Rishabh Shetty was seen laughing in the moment, many later pointed out that calling daivas ghosts was inaccurate and disrespectful, as they are considered forest deities.
Things escalated when additional footage surfaced showing Rishabh Shetty advising Ranveer not to mimic him, which sparked even more backlash. The moment has now opened a wider conversation about how public figures refer to culturally significant performances on major platforms. Ranveer’s apology continues to circulate online, drawing a mix of understanding and criticism. Rishabh has not issued a formal statement, and Ranveer is preparing for the release of Dhurandhar later this week.Also Read: Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s exchange over Ranveer’s Madame Tussauds statues wins hearts。
IT之家 8 月 22 日消息，抖音黑板报 8 月 21 日发文称，近期，冒充抖音邮寄虚假“兑奖快递”的骗局仍有发生，诈骗分子将各类印有“抖音官方活动”的卡片、宣传册寄给用户，伪装成平台福利、节日回馈或品牌联名活动，诱导用户扫描卡片上的二维码联系“客服”兑奖。针对此类情况，抖音“验证助手”再次升级，在图片识别的基础上，支持二维码识别，
帮用户甄别是否为抖音官方活动。抖音提醒，抖音官方不会以邮寄卡片、附赠小礼品等方式，引导用户扫码进入第三方页面领取福利。

IT之家从文中获悉，抖音整理了近期出现的十种仿冒抖音诈骗的“快递资料”，虽然卡片的包装主题不断翻新，但实际上只是把同一套“邮寄引流、扫码转化”的诈骗链路反复包装。有的打着“抖音十周年礼品卡”名义、有的借“端午献礼”“七夕献礼”等节日场景制造官方回馈的假象，还有的围绕季节主题推出“抖音盛夏来信”“抖音清凉一夏”等虚假活动，甚至还有假冒“抖音 618 电商狂欢节”“抖音好物体验季”等营销节点的内容，统一突出“50 元现金卡”“专属礼遇”“扫码即领”等字样，试图通过盗用平台标识和视觉设计降低用户警惕。
一旦用户扫码添加所谓的“客服”，对方就会以核实身份、登记礼品、确认收货、激活卡密等为由，要求用户提供手机号、快递号等个人信息，诱导受害人下载诈骗 App 或点击诈骗网站，进行后续诈骗。抖音反诈中心工作人员提醒，抖音不会通过快递邮寄所谓“现金卡”“专属礼品卡”诱导用户扫码领奖，也不会要求用户通过站外链接、陌生二维码或非官方客服渠道完成福利兑换。如遇可疑情况，用户可打开抖音 App 搜索“验证助手”，输入可疑来电号码、短信或网址，上传图片或二维码照片，核验是否为抖音官方信息，同时牢记，不轻信、不下载、不共享屏幕，避免落入仿冒平台的诈骗陷阱。
