I met Ranveer at a cafe in Dharamshala on August 13th, he was with his girlfriend.
A few people came to the cafe to felicitate him.
So much fame at such a young age, has got the better of him.
Hope no one goes to his podcast show ever again.
Bad example.#RanveerAllahbadia pic.twitter.com/GLerbEFnL9
