Ranveer Allahbadia admits to getting death threats.

On Saturday, Ranveer took to Instagram to apologise for his remarks and reveal that he has been receiving death threats. He wrote on social media, “My team and I are cooperating with the police and all other authorities. I will follow due process and be available to all agencies. My remark about parents was insensitive and disrespectful. It is my moral responsibility to do better, and I am genuinely sorry.” He added, “I’m watching death threats pour in from people saying that they want to kill me and hurt my family. People have invaded my mother’s clinic, posing as patients. I’m feeling scared, and I don’t know what to do. But I’m not running away. I have full faith in the police and the judicial system of India.”

I hope he and his family are safe. It makes me sick watching how this whole ordeal has unfolded.”
