Karanvir Bohra reacts after being called ‘gareeb’ for driving Ciaz to Sidharth Shukla’s home

Actor Karanvir Bohra has slammed a media person for calling him ‘poor’ as he visited late actor Sidharth Shukla’s Mumbai residence in a Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. Karanvir went to his house on Thursday to pay his last respects to Sidharth.

Taking to Instagram, Karanvir shared a video in which he along with his wife Teejay Sidhu, stood below Sidharth’s apartment waiting for their car.

In the video, a person is heard saying, “Ciaz mein aaye hai, gareeb gareeb dikh raha hai yeh toh (He has come in Ciaz. He appears to be a poor person).” Karanvir spoke to a few police officials seated nearby and then got inside his car and drove away.

Karanvir captioned the post, “‘Ciaz gadi mein aye hai, gareeb lag rahe hai!’ So sad, are we here to make 5-star appearances? We came to meet a mother who just lost her son. And this is what certain press people notice during such a grieving time? This is exactly what gives press people a bad name.”
