"This Is Sickening": Actor Ranvir Shorey Slams MNS Workers Over 'Slapgate'
Mumbai: Actor Ranvir Shorey took to social media to strongly condemn the actions of MNS workers who allegedly assaulted a Gujarati shopkeeper for not speaking Marathi. Expressing his outrage, the actor called the incident shameful and unacceptable. He also tagged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in his post. The 'Ek Tha Tiger' actor took to his X handle to post a video that captured members of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) allegedly attacking a restaurant owner in Mumbai's Mira Road area over his inability to speak Marathi. Expressing anger, Mr Shorey described the incident as "disturbing" and voiced concerns about the current state of law and order in Maharashtra. Tagging Mr Fadnavis and his office, the actor said, "This is sickening. Monsters on the loose, looking for attention and political relevance. Where's L&O [law and order]." This is sickening. Monsters on the loose, looking for attention and political relevance. Where's L&O, @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis? — Ranvir Shorey (@RanvirShorey) July 2, 2025 Ranvir Shorey also hit back at trolls in the comments section of his post. A X user asked him, "Since how many years you now live in Maharashtra? How much effort have you taken to learn Marathi?" In his reply, the actor said, "First, I'm not answerable to a hateful anonymous troll like you for any of these questions. Second, you're really dumb if you think beating people up will make them learn and speak a language. And finally, if you do want to bring attention to the issue, there are more positive & constructive ways to bring about change, or even protest for political mileage, instead of beating hapless citizens who're just trying to make a living!" A video that went viral on social media showed a group of men visiting a shop to buy food. The situation turned violent when they allegedly attacked the shop owner for not speaking in Marathi. The men were seen wearing scarves associated with Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). The incident took place in Bhayander, located in Maharashtra's Thane district. It occurred shortly after the state government rolled back its decision to enforce a three-language policy, which had sparked criticism from the opposition.

Ranvir Shorey slams Raj Thackeray's MNS for slapping shopkeeper, questions CM Fadnavis over law & order: ‘Monsters...'
Actor Ranvir Shorey slammed Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) for slapping a shopkeeper in Mumbai's Mira Road for not speaking in Marathi. He also questioned Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over the law and order situation in the state. Sharing the viral video of MNS workers slapping the elderly man, Shorey said the incident 'is sickening.' 'Monsters on the loose, looking for attention and political relevance,' he said, slamming the MNS. The actor tagged CM Fadnavis and asked, 'Where's L&O?' Ranvir Shorey's tweet Ranvir Shorey was reacting to a news clip about a group of men, reportedly MNS workers, assaulting a shop owner for refusing to speak in Marathi on Tuesday in the Bhayander area of Maharashtra's Thane. The viral video showed that the men slapped the shop owner several times after he was asked, 'Which language is spoken in the state?' The shop owner's response, who was talking in Hindi, that 'all languages' infuriated the men who had visited his shop to buy food, as reported by PTI. The incident reportedly occurred shortly after the Maharashtra government withdrew its orders on implementing the three-language policy in the state, which led to the opposition describing it as a 'Hindi imposition'. Following the Mira Road incident, MNS workers allegedly assaulted a man in Pune's Vanaz area for posting objectionable content against party chief Raj Thackeray on social media. According to a Pune Times Mirror report, the man, identified as Kedar Soman, was tracked down by the MNS workers after he shared a post on social media criticising Raj Thackeray. He was allegedly beaten up by the MNS workers and later handed over to the police. The incident caused temporary tension in the area, prompting police intervention. Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Yogesh Kadam also reacted to MNS workers slapping the shopkeeper and said that laws will be enforced if anyone disrespects the language in the state. 'In Maharashtra, you have to speak Marathi. If you don't know Marathi, your attitude shouldn't be that you won't speak Marathi... If anyone disrespects Marathi in Maharashtra, we will enforce our laws,' Kadam told ANI.

Ranvir Shorey Reacts To Owaisi's Remark On Pakistan Using Islam To Shield Terrorism
Last Updated: In a rare moment of cross-ideological unity, actor Ranvir Shorey endorsed AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi's sharp criticism of Pakistan's use of Islam as a cover for terrorism. As tensions flare between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and India's retaliatory Operation Sindoor, a rare moment of political unity is taking shape—across parties and platforms. Actor Ranvir Shorey added his voice to this chorus, showing public support for AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who launched a scathing critique of Pakistan's selective rhetoric around Islam and the two-nation theory. Speaking to ANI, Owaisi called out Pakistan's hypocrisy, saying, 'They conveniently forget that over 230 million Muslims live in India, whose forefathers rejected the two-nation theory." He also questioned why Pakistan bombs Afghan and Iranian border posts if its actions are supposedly driven by Islamic solidarity, stating, 'Both Afghans and Iranians are Muslims. It is the deep state of Pakistan which only uses Islam as a facade to cover up all illegal activities and their promotion of terrorism. This is what they have been doing for the last 75 years against India." #WATCH | Hyderabad, Telangana: AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi says, " Pakistan conveniently forgets that there are more than 230 million Muslims living in India and our forefathers rejected the two-country theory. We despise, we rejected the two-nation theory proposed by Jinnah,… — ANI (@ANI) May 10, 2025 Owaisi's remarks, which drew a rare moment of cross-ideological agreement, received silent yet symbolic endorsement from Ranvir Shorey, who reacted on X (formerly Twitter) with a raising hands emoji, signaling his approval. The actor's show of support reflects the growing consensus across political and cultural spheres as India reels from the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 innocent lives. The attack prompted Operation Sindoor—a series of precision airstrikes carried out by the Indian government on May 7, targeting nine terror launchpads in Pakistan and PoK. Owaisi further noted that the unity and unanimity he's witnessing across India in the wake of this attack is unprecedented. 'All the tricks and all the deviousness Pakistan possesses to create division won't work this time. The country is united. We must put an end to this Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in India," he asserted. Shorey's quiet acknowledgment of Owaisi's remarks suggests that in moments of national crisis, ideological lines can blur—making space for shared resolve, even among unlikely allies.
