Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh may not have earned nig numbers at the box office with his last release ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’. But the actor sure knows how to stay in the news – whether it is for his fashion, speaking of why he wants to learn his wife Deepika Padukone’s mother tongue Konkani or for the recent photoshoot where he posed in his birthday suit. While Ranveer’s latest pictures became a meme fest on social media, and at the same time, provided fodder for trolls to attack him, it also led to filing an application with the Mumbai police, demanding an FIR. The application claimed that his pictures have allegedly hurt the sentiments of women and insulted their modesty. Amidst this, the actor has found support from many of his friends and colleagues in the industry.
