The character played by Ranbir Kapoor in ‘Animal‘ is drawing extensive comparisons to Karanvir Bohra‘s portrayal of Viraj Dobriyal in the 2011 drama ‘Saubhagyavati Bhava.’ Memes highlighting these similarities are circulating widely on social media.
Reacting to the same, Karanvir recently told Hindustan Times that he is elated to know that people still love and remember his character and are creating these funny memes out of it..

While some criticize the glorification of toxic, alpha-male characters, the box office numbers indicate that ‘Animal’ is being widely watched and appreciated. Karanvir Bohra argues that the film’s popularity is attributed to its reflection of the harsh realities of the world. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging that life is not always filled with roses and fairytales. Bohra contends that movies and shows serve as a platform to share stories from the real world, clarifying that the intention is not to promote messages of domestic violence but rather to depict the complexities of life without pushing specific agendas.

Bohra responds to those who argue that the film normalizes toxic behavior by stating that critics are overlooking the truth. He emphasizes the subjective nature of storytelling in cinema, asserting that there is no definitive right or wrong when it comes to portraying narratives. Bohra acknowledges the diversity of perspectives in creating art and believes that different creators may choose to depict stories based on their individual perceptions. While he expresses personal discomfort with showcasing misogynistic characters, he underscores the importance of not restricting creativity. Bohra contends that despite being fictional, these stories draw inspiration from real-life situations.
Bohra asserts that the intention is not to convey a misleading message or encourage people to emulate the behavior of such characters. He emphasizes that even if some individuals interpret the narrative in a negative way, he believes that women today are discerning enough to avoid becoming victims of misogyny.

He highlights the significance of such movies, noting that they play a crucial role in addressing societal issues and illustrating the consequences of wrongful actions. Bohra points to Rashmika Mandanna‘s character in particular, citing how she takes appropriate action when faced with marital infidelity.

Drawing from his own experiences with television shows, Bohra cites instances where his work had positive impacts on the audience.

According to Bohra, numerous individuals came forward, sharing their similar experiences as a result of these initiatives.
In conclusion, Bohra asserts that the primary purpose of such films and shows is to entertain people while simultaneously raising awareness. Therefore, he suggests that audiences should consume them with the understanding that their goal is to provide entertainment and promote awareness rather than endorsing or encouraging specific behaviors.
