Dhruv is a well-known name on social media with 11 million subscribers on Youtube. For the unversed, he had sparked controversies three years back when Kangana Ranaut’s office was demolished by BMC. Let’s take a look at why he became a target of the Manikarnika actress.

Dating back to the 2020 lockdown scene, during the Sushant Singh Rajput death case one of the events that dominated entertainment news was Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s decision to demolish Kangana Ranaut’s Mumbai office. 

That’s when Youtuber Dhruv Rathee’s video accusing the actress for being insincere about the decision went viral. This caught her attention and journalist-filmmaker Eray Cather claimed that he has been paid a huge sum to tarnish the image of Kangana and renowned news anchor Arnab Goswami.

Eray alleged that a YouTuber with 4M subscribers has been paid Rs 65 lakh to make videos exposing SSR’s family involvement in his death and earlier he was hired to target Kangana and Arnab. 

Although the journalist didn’t mention any name, Dhruv Rathee came forward with an explanation. The Youtuber asserted that he hasn’t been paid any money for making Kangana Ranaut videos nor he is planning any video against SSR. 

To this, Cather replied by stating he didn’t mention any name however if he feels it's about him then most welcome, and talking about allegations he has answered it himself.

Lol, is this bullshit fake news referring to me?

First of all no one paid me any money to make Kangana video. Secondly, I’m not planning to make any video on SSR.

And thirdly, I really wish my sponsoring fees was 30 Lakh per video, how rich would I be https://t.co/HAI5vZi2Qu

The actress also alleged that she can get him behind bars for lying about BMC's notice. She wonders why would anyone lie on legal matters if not paid a huge amount or have government support.
