‘Cheap publicity stunt’: Netizens accuse Ridhima Pandit of spreading marriage rumors with Shubman Gill

Model-turned-actress Ridhima Pandit finds himself in hot water after a recent incident involving an Indian cricket star Shubman Gill. After the rumors that they were going to get married were denied, social media erupted with allegations against Pandit himself, questioning his role in the rumours.

From Dream Wedding to Public Denial

Earlier this week, news channels were abuzz with reports of a possible December wedding between Ridhima Pandit and Shubman Gill. These rumours, seemingly out of the ordinary, surprised fans and grabbed the headlines. However, Ridhima quickly doused the fire, publicly stating that she does not know Gill personally and has never met the cricketer.

Fans Frustration Brews Online

Ridhima’s denial, however, has sparked a different kind of storm online. Disgruntled fans, especially those from his fanbase, expressed their disappointment. Many took to social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, accusing Pandit of creating the rumors himself for “cheap publicity.” Hashtags like “#PanditSeeksAttention” and “#MarriageDrama” started trending, showing the growing negativity surrounding the situation.

Public Image at Risk

This controversy poses a serious threat to Ridhima’s public image. Fans who once adored him for his integrity are now questioning his intentions. The episode also highlights the position of celebrities in the age of social media, where the line between real news and self-promotion can easily blur.

Moving Forward: Dealing with Conflict

For now, how Pandit chooses to deal with this situation will be important. A direct and honest statement publicly decrying the rumors and distancing yourself from any deceptive tactics would be a good first step. Regaining the trust of his followers will require transparency and a commitment to authenticity.
