Ranbir Kapoor has recently reacted to the negativity he has been receiving after his wife Alia Bhatt shared about the actor asking her to wipe off the lipstick as he prefers her natural lip colour. Post which, there have been mixed reactions and many netizens went on to spread hate and referred to the actor as ‘red flag’ and ‘toxic’.

Reacting to same, in a recent fan interaction, Ranbir said, “Hey, I am not on social media so I don’t have to need to deal with it which is a great thing. But I feel negativity is very important especially if you are an artist and if you have some work out there I think both need to exist because then that creates a balance. You know sometimes a lot of things are written about you as an actor, a lot of opinions are made which are not necessarily true and if you take it for a pinch of salt because I this image of mine which has been created by the movies or the characters I play or by media is something that I don’t own."

He further added, "It’s owned by the public, it’s owned by people who like my work or dislike my work and they are allowed to say anything about me as long as they give my work a chance you know as long as I can prove to them as an actor and that has always been my focus is just to act. Recently, I was reading some article about being toxic and something relating to some statement I made and I understand this. And I am on the side of the people who are fighting for the toxic masculinity, if they use me as the face of it, it’s fine because their fight is bigger than just me feeling bad about them having an opinion about what I said.”

On the work front, Ranbir would be next seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial Animal which is set to release on December 1, this year.
