Actor Ranveer Singh found himself at the receiving end of massive backlash on Twitter after his unexpected stage diving at the finale day of the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week. As per several articles published in Hindustan Times, News18 and NewsX, Ranveer's impromptu jump left several of his fans injured and hurt. After walking the ramp during the show, the 33-year-old actor upped the energy levels as he grooved to Apna Time Ayega from Gully Boy amidst a sea of fans. In videos and pictures going viral on social media, he can be seen fixing his hair and diving into an unprepared crowd of audience, reportedly leaving a few injured.

While a section of Twitter criticised Ranveer for his mistimed jump as "publicity stunt", several tweets also claim that Ranveer's jump indeed hurt a few during the show. "My friend got a really bad sprain on his neck because of your stupid act. You are a married man now... Grow up a bit," read a tweet while another angry user added: "No civil sense in the guy. A public personality shouldn't be this careless, no? Could have badly hurt the people."

Next time you jump into the crowd make sure @deepikapadukone stands there to hold you and grab you when you fall into her lap over her. My friend got a really bad sprain on his neck because of your stupid act. You are a married man now... Grow up a bit.

Can any common man jump like this? It would be crime. Now its okay bcoz its #Ranveer! Not fair, this is childish & foolish act, he need to grow up. Such incidents can lead to disasters like stampede.

Here's a look at what really happened:
Meanwhile, a screenshot is being circulated by Ranveer's fans on the Internet, in which a message from the verified account of Ranveer Singh reads: "I will be mindful henceforth. Thank you for your love and concern." A section of the Internet is claiming that's Ranveer's response to the mishap when informed by a fan.
