While the array of Tweets continued to Ekta's comment asking who PewDiePie is, she returned to Twitter with very firm responses for the haters, who appeared to spam her feed. "Just opened my Twitter and realised I finally arrived. This hate welcome has put me in August company! Just one thing if anyone is waiting for me to apologise to peudy something it's NOT happening," read one of her tweets.
Ekta also made a strong case against PewDiePie, claiming his criticism of content on Indian television and cinema is sheer "ignorance." Ekta, who was slammed on Twitter for her apparent "racial slur" after she earlier had tweeted: "Luks like the fi***g junior artists we hire from Colaba when we create Paris." However, now, she's learnt who PewDiePie is and is still not convinced of his "power and millions." This is what she wrote in another tweet: "Just one thing anyone who suggests racial slur to my tweet (yes I read some tweets) should open this YouTubers (yes now I know who he is) video and see how he has trashed everything from Indian soaps to Indian superstars (Rajinikanth's Robot) and jibbed back with the same ignorance."
In his spoof video, PewDiePie commented on the editing and special effects with remarks like: "How dare you?" He also included scenes from Rajinikanth's sci-fi film Robot and said: "How this is a movie? Wait, what's happening?" He also plugged in an action sequence from Akshay Kumar's International Khiladi to mockingly compare it to the movie Matrix.

And irreverence that he adopted to pan everything in India's popular culture ! So all those getting highly protective about his power n millions ( some even claimed wat I was ' worth') remember his video which we pass as sarcastic n ' humourous' was titled ' india u lose'

It all started after PewDiePie has also posted a rather pixelated screenshot from Kasamh Se and wrote these exact words: "(good quality)", which was also what was written on the video description.

PewDiePie has featured in headlines before for appearing to be rather "racist" in his approach. Last year, he apologised after hurling out racial abuses while live-streaming a video game. Earlier, both YouTube and Disney had withdrawn their contracts with the YouTube over his anti-Semitic approach. The year before, Twitter had blocked him after he jokingly claimed he's joined ISIS. PewDiePie continues to have an unwavering fan-following on YouTube with as many as 62,596,292 subscribers as we speak.
