“Sorry Hrithik” trend resurfaces as social media revisits Kangana Ranaut dispute
The phrase ‘Sorry Hrithik’ is trending on social media as users revived the long‑running Hrithik Roshan–Kangana Ranaut dispute in the wake of Ranaut’s latest controversy involving student protesters. The trend escalated after CJP researcher Saurav Das remarked that his friends joked he resembled a young Hrithik Roshan while questioning why Ranaut was targeting him. His comment triggered a wave of posts revisiting the pair’s 2016 legal battle, with users saying the internet “owes Hrithik an apology”.
The backlash against Ranaut began after she referred to Gen Z protesters as “Generation Gutter”, prompting widespread criticism and a fresh round of memes, commentary and archival clips. As the debate intensified, users drew parallels to her past feud with Roshan, fuelling hashtags such as ‘Sorry Hrithik’ and ‘Apologise to Hrithik’ across X and Instagram.
Roshan responded with restraint, urging people not to take sides based on social‑media sentiment. He said he preferred to wait for “the right context” and facts rather than react to trending narratives, a stance that drew praise for its measured tone.
