Watch: What Ranbir Kapoor told BBC Journalist on Bollywood’s ‘Bad Phase’ Remark

The question was asked by a BBC journalist, who wanted to know the actor’s views about the current trends in the Hindi film industry. But Ranbir instead posed a question to the journalist, and his reply has gone viral on social media.

So, the BBC reporter asked, “Ranbir Bollywood It’s a bit dicey right now...(Bollywood is currently in a dicey phase).

Interrupting her, Ranbir replied, “What are you talking about? Have you seen the collection of Pathan? What are you saying? “Have you not seen Pathan’s box office collection?”

Another reporter jumped in, but Ranbir asked her to let the BBC journalist finish her question. He also asked her which media organization she works for. “BBC News,” she replied, and he shot back, “I think something is going on with your company these days. What about that? You tell me first.”

Everyone in the press conference started laughing at the Barfi! actor’s words, and several fans even praised him for his funny responses.

Meanwhile, the Income-Tax Department is investigating the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for alleged tax evasion through underreporting income. The Department said in a statement following the three-day survey of the media organization that the income and profits disclosed by the organization’s units were “not commensurate with the scale of operations in India.”

The Income Tax Department has also claimed it has uncovered irregularities in the accounting books of the BBC, which came weeks after the corporation aired a series on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
