Everyone is jealous of Ranveer: Rakhi Sawant slams film body over Don 3 row
Rakhi Sawant has publicly backed Ranveer Singh as the FWICE sharpened its stand in the Don 3 dispute. While defending the actor, Rakhi claimed that everyone is jealous of Ranveer.
The fallout over Ranveer Singh's abrupt exit from Don 3 continued to escalate after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) intensified its stand against the actor. Amid the dispute, Rakhi Sawant came out in support of Ranveer and said he was being unfairly targeted. She also alleged everyone is jealous of Ranveer.
During a recent outing in the city, the Bigg Boss fame actor spoke to paparazzi and claimed that members of FWICE were "jealous" of Ranveer. She also took a swipe at Farhan Akhtar, alleging that the filmmaker was using Ranveer's name to stay in the spotlight.
Rakhi Sawant dares FWICE to try banning Salman Khan
While speaking about the row, Rakhi expressed immense anger toward those targeting Ranver, asserting that "everyone is jealous" of his superstar status. She challenged the film body to "try banning my brother Salman Khan," claiming he would easily shut them down. She further emphasised that the actor "has achieved success through his own hard work," noting that both he and his wife have built their careers entirely on their own.
She doubled down on her challenge, stating that if the federation truly has the guts, they should try targeting the veteran superstar, who "will put you in your place." She accused FWICE of being envious because the actor "has delivered back-to-back superhit films." Furthermore, she took a sharp dig at the filmmaker, alleging that he was never as successful in his own cinematic ventures and is now merely "seeking publicity using Ranveer's name."
FWICE issues non-cooperation directive against Ranveer
On Monday, FWICE issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer after Farhan Akhtar approached the body regarding the Don 3 dispute in April.
Following this, Ranveer's spokesperson issued a statement on his behalf, and said, "Ranveer Singh holds the highest regard for the film fraternity and for everyone associated with the Don franchise. Throughout the recent developments surrounding Don 3, he has consciously chosen to maintain silence, believing that professional discussions and personal equations are best handled with dignity, maturity and mutual respect."
Ranveer's last theatrical release was director Aditya Dhar's espionage thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026).
