As Dhurandhar: The Revenge starring Ranveer Singh continues its strong run at the box office, a social media exchange involving Paresh Rawal has come into focus. The discussion stems from the actor's response to an online post reviewing the film and has since sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Paresh Rawal mocks RJ Sayema for sharing Dhurandhar's 2 review When Dhurandhar Part 1 was released, Paresh had criticised reviewer Anupama Chopra for her negative review of the film. Now, with the sequel in theatres, an RJ Sayema shared a reel on X in which two individuals were seen sarcastically reviewing Dhurandhar: The Revenge, captioning it, “Hahahaha. Best review of Dhurandhar! (sic).”

Responding to the post, Paresh wrote, “Your job as a stupid reporter is secured. Nobody wants it (sic).” However, Sayema mentioned that she is an RJ and not a reporter, making the remark technically incorrect. In her reply, she stated, “Get your facts right. I am not a reporter. You are just an actor, hugely distant from your art in real life.”

The exchange was followed by reactions from other users, some of whom pointed out the factual error and criticised the tone of the comment. Meanwhile, Dhurandhar 2 has recorded a strong opening at the box office, collecting Rs. 43 crore during Wednesday paid previews and Rs. 102.55 crore on its first day, Thursday, taking the total to Rs. 145.55 crore.
