He also spoke about being isolated, and bad-mouthing in the film industry. "This fully happens, you know, ganging up against someone, elbowing them out, standing on somebody's toes, scuttling somebody's career. This happens. This is a fact.

When Ranvir spoke about his and Pooja's relationship

He had said, “These kind of articles are the result of the sustained defamatory and malicious PR campaign that these film moguls have targeted me with for years! None of the media will bother to fact check old police and media records that will show that it was I who was abused by them,” he had tweeted.

Responding to another tweet, he had talked about Pooja’s husband Manish Makhija. “This guy in the photos used to be my best friend right up until after the incident, and then turned around and married her.
