That was uncool, uncalled for and an outright disrespectful imposition: Ranveer Singh slams leading daily for publishing a 'fairy tale' about his 'depression'

A leading daily recently published a report on actor Ranveer Singh suffering from depression, and how it was primarily because of the impact that the tragic end of a close friend left on him. The actor, as the report published states, faced difficulties in accepting the suicide of his friend, and has been suffering ever since.

Miffed with the report, Ranveer took to social media to slam the daily for publishing a 'fairy tale' of his 'depression' and making it as 'sensational' as possible.

In the message that the actor posted on his official Facebook account, he said, "Talk about Monday morning blues. Picked up yesterday's paper and read this 'fairy tale' of my depression about an intensely personal tragedy. Much worse, it was shamelessly aligned with another person's conflict and both these unrelated stories were made to connect for a sensational effect; deplorable to say the least. Figment of one's imagination now taken to another level, in which there's a dramatic twist about a therapist too! Ludicrous! Obviously, the journo didn't bother to check the veracity of this 'news' with me or any one of my representatives- Appallingly unethical! Classic case of utterly IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM. Is there any accountability? Or is the power of the pen now the terror of the pen?"
