On 6th April 2025, during the sacred festival of Ram Navami, Hrithik Roshan participated in ‘Rangotsav‘ at Houston, USA. The Bollywood actor held many “Meet and Greet” events in USA in the name of Holi Bash! However, the fact that most of these events were organized by ISI-linked Pakistani origin team raises bold red flags.
The US organizers of the events was a man named Hussain and 3Sixty Shows, who are thick as theives with Rehan Siddiqui. Siddiqui is a US-settled Pakistani who runs mega Bollywood shows and owns many radio stations. However, he is blacklisted by the Indian government for his links to ISI and anti-India activities. Thus, organizer Hussain’s and (3Sixty Shows) Mohammed Abbas’ deep ties with Siddiqui directly links Hrithik Roshan’s events to blacklisted ISI-agent Rehan Siddiqui!!
Add to this the beef samosas and alcohol being sold on show held in the name of Ram Navami and Holi Bash, and it’s a recipe for distasteful insensitivity. Was the sale of beef and alcohol culturally insensitive? How deep are the roots of ISI in the Bollywood industry? Neitzens ponder on these questions on Urudwood!!
Hrithik Roshan Event Shows ISI’s Cultural Footprint Bollywood
Rehan Siddiqui is a Pakistani-origin event promoter based in Houston. He is under scrutiny for his connections with the Pakistan Army and the ISI. US agencies suspect Siddique for spreading fanatic Islamism in the country. According to reports, Siddiqui met with key army officials in Lahore many times. Moreover, he stays involved in organizing events that purportedly fund anti-India propaganda, especially concerning Kashmir and Khalistan.
Rehan Siddiqui’s radio station – 106.1 Hum FM – hosted content deeply critical of India, thereby, leading to its blacklisting by the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs in 2020.
Despite the ban and allegations, Siddiqui continues to indirectly manage collaborations with several Bollywood celebrities for events abroad. He uses Mohammad Abbas (3Sixty Shows) & Nouman Khalid Events to continue working with Bollywood. The poster of Hrithik Roshan’s “Rangotsav” names Siddiqui’s both close friend – Pakistani Hussain Ajani – and his other friend’s company – 3Sixty Shows. Thereby, raising concerns about the Urduwood industry’s lack of awareness or disregard of such affiliations.
Reports state that many Bollywood singers and stars continue to associate with Rehan Siddiqui-linked Hussain. The participation of prominent actors in events organized by anti-India and ISI-linked individuals is a prime cause of Bollywood’s renaming as Urduwood. Such links hint at the potential infiltration of unwanted foreign influence in India and its cultural sphere.
Beef at Hrithik Roshan ‘s Rangotsav – Cultural Insensitivity or Deliberate Provocation?
Food is a major part of any Indian festival. When you call a meet and greet ‘Rangotsav,’ it hints at the Hindu origins of the actor and the festivals. This “Rangotsav” meet was held on Chaitra Ram Navami and was promoted as a Holi Bash!!! Viral videos of this particular event shows bhajans of Shri Ram being sung. Meanwhile, beef and alcohol were sold at the very same event. Thus, hurting the Hindu fans for the blatant disregard for religious sentiments.
Since the event organizer was a Pakistani Muslim, many think that the sale of beef and alcohol on Ram Navami was deliberate.
The specific choice of menu items during an event where Hindus would come to meet the star raises suspicion of agenda rather than ignorance. Most netizens speculate that this could be a deliberate attempt to provoke and undermine Indian cultural values. Maybe this was a way for the Pakistani “peaceful” to ruin the sanctity of a Hindu festival while wooing and earning through a Hindu audience using Hrithik Roshan’s presence.
Urduwood and the Mafia – ISI Underbelly Debate
The term ‘Urduwood‘ is Bollywood’s true identity in a nutshell. Critics argue that Indian Hindi cinema and art were used by a set of Muslims to project certain themes and narratives that suit their agenda. They bred a system that allowed criminal elements like the Mafia to launder money through movie-making.
In return, they could access an unlimited amount of profits by making movies that showed deep hatred towards Hindu culture and identity.
The popularity of Urdu and Islamic culture was also part of the agenda of Bollywood. Thus, allowing art and cinema to become a medium less about entertainment and more about propaganda. The Hrithik Roshan and his ISI-linked Rangotsav are proof that Bollywood only caters to their profit margins. And to further their agenda, they are willing to rub shoulders with anti-India elements. Hence, it would not be far-fetched to state that the influences shaping Bollywood’s content and narrative are either the Mafia or ISI themselves!
Food for Thought
The ISI-linked organizer and the beef controversy surrounding Hrithik Roshan and the ‘Rangotsav’ should act as a catalyst for introspection within the Bollywood industry. As India’s cultural ambassadors, filmmakers and actors bear the responsibility of preserving and promoting the nation’s rich heritage. Engagements supported by anti-India individuals or organizations tarnish the industry’s and the nation’s image.
Team Hrithik Roshan should ensure that minimum standards of cultural sensitivity as well as national security are met on all events- after all – Hrithik Roashan is a Hindu and an Indian both!
By allowing alcohol and beef during the event held in his name, Hrithik Roshan is seen as green-signaling cow slaughter on Ram Navami. This perception erodes the cultural fabric Hindu actors like Hrithik Roshan should represent. The dietary choice of an individual is a personal preference guided by is Dharma and Karma. However, selling beef on Ram Navami while inviting Hindus for a Meet and Greet is deliberately hurtful.
Will stakeholders of Urduwood exercise due diligence on Hindu causes?
Will actors prioritize national interests in their professional associations?
Who knows! For now, any hope of responsible behavior from Urduwood is futile!
