Ranvir Shorey has hit back at people who are coming out to defend the "muck in Bollywood" and has called them "gatekeepers of the industry". Ranvir took to his Twitter account and said, "The ones who come out defending the muck in #Bollywood are either the 'gatekeepers', or the ones sucking up to them. If you don't like someone whistleblowing or using their freedom of expression, you're free to use your freedom of enabling. Don't see what the fuss is about." 

Ranvir's post was presumably towards certain Bollywood stars who have been debating after veteran actress and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan slammed those trying to "tarnish the image of the entire industry". 

She took an indirect jibe at actress Kangana Ranaut and actor-politician Ravi Kishan who claimed that drug addiction exists in the film industry.

Jaya, alleging a 'conspiracy to defame the film industry', said on the second day of the Monsoon Session in Parliament, “People in the entertainment industry are being flogged by social media. People who made their names in the industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree. I hope that the government tells such people not to use this kind of language."

Apart from Kangana, Jaya had also expressed her shock at BJP MP Ravi Kishan's statements and said, "Just because there are some people, you can’t tarnish the image of the entire industry. I am ashamed that yesterday one of our members in Lok Sabha, who is from the film industry, spoke against it. It is a shame."

Actress Kangana Ranaut had then responded to Jaya Bachchan with a tweet asking whether the veteran actress would have maintained her stand had her son Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda been targeted, while Sonam Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, and Anubhav Sinha lauded Jaya Bachchan for speaking her mind.
