'Malicious and False’: Hrithik Roshan’s US tour organisers hit back at mismanagement claims

Bollywood’s ‘Greek God’ Hrithik Roshan, has found himself at the centre of criticism after his Rangotsav tour in the US faced severe backlash for mismanagement and poor organisation. Audiences complained about a dull experience and minimal stage time from the actor. The event team has now responded with an official statement.

Social media has been abuzz with allegations of mismanagement at Hrithik Roshan’s show, targeting everything, from choreography to sound glitches. Addressing the controversy, event spokesperson Chloe E Jones dismissed the claims and said that Hrithik met all his commitments, including signing autographs and taking photos with fans.

The statement read: “These claims are baseless and done with a malicious intent under the disguise of anonymous accounts. We have real people testimony all across social media to back our claims. Hrithik has fulfilled all his obligations across the 5 cities we have visited so far. In each location we have done anywhere between 150 to 200 pictures & meet and greets with Hrithik, who has graciously obliged all fans. The audience turnout and feedback has been exceptional, this is the first Rangotsav that witnessed a strength of close to 50K across ticket sales, vendors and sponsors."

The uproar began when a Reddit user criticised Hrithik Roshan’s USA tour, alleging he looked drastically different in real life and accusing him of using excessive filters on his shirtless Instagram posts. “So I went to one of Hrithik Roshan’s shows in the USA. We were surprised, as we are used to Z-list Bollywood celebs coming here for money. First of all, we thought he was an impostor, because he didn’t look like Hrithik. He looked unfit and rigid — perhaps the Insta shirtless pics were heavily edited," the user wrote.

Meanwhile, some fans came to Hrithik Roshan’s defence, sharing photos from the event and applauding his humility. While the event organisers have addressed the issue, the War 2 star has remained silent on the controversy.

As criticism poured in, a section of fans defended Hrithik Roshan and shared snaps from the event and lauded his appearance by sharing photos from the event. While, the organisers have spoken about the event, Hrithik Roshan has not issued any statement.
