• Trolled for Mocking a Girl on Twitter
In 2017, the Indian student activist Gurmehar Kaur posted a photo of herself on Twitter and Facebook, holding a placard with messages such as,
“I am a student from Delhi University. I am not afraid of ABVP. I am not alone. Every student of India is with me."
Later, the former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag mocked the girl and shared an image of him holding a placard saying,
“I did not score two triple centuries. My bat did.”
Randeep appreciated Sehwag for his post for which he received huge criticism from the netizens. Randeep said that Gurmehar was a political pawn. Later, he gave a clarification on ‘political pawn’ statement. He said,
“It wasn’t gender specific. I was and I am against the politicisation of personal opinions. There was an axe to grind and considering the environment in the country vis-a-vis women, in hindsight, I do believe I should have been more careful. As an actor I have faced this (trolling) before and will have to face it in future too but for a young individual, to face this would be very traumatic and she shouldn’t have gone through this.”
Gurmehar then mocked Randeep and tweeted,
“I didn’t tweet my hands did”
Sehwag and Hooda received more criticism because Gurmehar was already receiving rape threats for commenting on ABVP. During an interview, while talking about it, Randeep said,
"I was not aware of any threats to her. When I did become aware of it, I issued a statement clarifying my stand. And violence is wrong. If it is against a woman, it’s a heinous crime and perpetrators should be brought to justice and severe punishment should be given so that it sets an example. I don’t think that has happened. I don’t know what the authorities are doing. But by that time the narrative was set. I was labelled, put in a box. So, it seems to me we are not having a conversation.”
• Passing Castiest and Sexist Comment
On 2 May 2021, an old video of Randeep Hooda went viral on social media in which he was seen passing a casteist and sexist comment on the Indian politician Mayawati. As soon as the video went viral, he started receiving huge backlash from the netizens. He was even removed as the brand ambassador of the Secretariat of the Convention for the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), the environmental treaty of the United Nations and released a statement which reads,
“The CMS Secretariat finds the comments made in the video to be offensive, and they do not reflect the values of the CMS Secretariat or the United Nations.”
Later, Randeep apologised for his comment.
