Vir Das Takes Down Controversial Video Of Neighbor Sneezing At Him; Says ‘Situation Resolved For Now’
Vir Das’ encounter with an elderly man in his neighborhood has been resolved now. The actor took down the video saying, ‘We got a full night's sleep last night, no ghosts.’
On May 24 night, Bollywood actor and standup comedian Vir Das encountered an incident with an elderly man at his residence in Mumbai. The actor took to social media to narrate the entire incident. He also put up a video that sees the elderly man sneezing at him. It so happened when Go Goa Gone actor invited a neighbour over for dinner. In his statement, Das mentioned that he followed all the social distancing rules. The man, who seemed unhappy with Vir’s action, started yelling and sneezing at him.
Now the situation has been resolved and Vir Das has taken the video down. Taking to Twitter, Vir Das wrote, “Situation resolved for now. I'd like to thank the authorities, my landlord, our wonderful neighbours, bandra community, and the internet. We got a full night's sleep last night, no ghosts. Video now going down. My family and I thank you.” Re-tweeting his Tweet, a user wrote, “Shame on you. Will wait for your reaction when someone does the same to your dad. You have set a cheap example just because you had social media you made him a villain.”
Giving it back to him, Vir wrote, “My dad doesnt assault people, torment them, or sneeze on them. if your dad is thinking about it, give him some good advice.”
Situation resolved for now. I'd like to thank the authorities, my landlord, our wonderful neighbours, bandra community, and the internet. We got a full night's sleep last night, no ghosts.

Speaking about the man harassing him, he wrote in his statement, “This man is not my landlord, he lives on the first floor of the annexe building. He is upset because my landlord inherited the house I live in and he didn't. This man does not own my doorstep, my sit-out or my house. I am not sure if an old man threatening to assault me, or sneezing on me, or asking his dead parent to haunt me qualifies as harassment. But this is a little ridiculous. And before this turns into him going to the media, as he has done before, and I've sat through it quietly...I'm not normally one for drama...I'm sorry but this crossed the line. How's your lockdown going?” (ALSO READ: Hasmukh: Vir Das-Ranvir Shorey’s Netflix Comedy Series Lands In Legal Trouble For Depicting Advocates In Poor Light)
