While Netflix’s newly released show Dining With the Kapoors offered some unseen aspects of one of Bollywood’s most celebrated families, the Kapoor family, it has landed actor Ranbir Kapoor in controversy.

The show celebrates one of the Kapoor family’s biggest specialities, food. Through it, fans get to witness a hidden, unfiltered side of the family that they have never seen on screen.

But for the 43-year-old, it brought trouble. He was seen eating and enjoying non-vegetarian food, which contradicted earlier reports claiming he had quit non-veg and alcohol to prepare for his role as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film Ramayana.

Earlier reports also claimed that the Barfi actor had embraced a sattvic lifestyle and given up smoking to help him embody the spiritual essence of his character.

However, in the Netflix show, Armaan Jain is seen serving Fish Curry Rice and Junglee Mutton to the entire Kapoor family gathered at the table, including Ranbir.

The clip quickly went viral and sparked a heated debate on social media. Netizens accused the Sanju actor’s PR team of spreading false claims about the actor’s lifestyle choices for promotional benefit.

A user criticised the planning behind such statements, writing, “I think PR teams of Bollywood actors should be fired, especially that of RK and Alia Bhatt. They don’t do an ounce of research of past videos of their clients before posting such stupidity. On top of that, give such exaggerated claims and all. What was the need to make claims of leaving non-veg and drinks for the role? Who asked? If they had kept their mouth shut at that time, they wouldn’t be facing this unnecessary heat at present."
