Manish Goel’s son Aryaveer issues statement amid criticism
Taking to his Instagram handle, Aryaveer said his father, , is an honest, hardworking and good human being. The actor’s son added that his father is same the way he is in the Bigg Boss 20 house. He accepted that viewers can dislike Manish as a contestant, disagree with his opinions and question his gameplay.
Having said that, the Bigg Boss 20 contestant’s son questioned how can people judge someone’s character or spread narratives without ever meeting them. “Form your own opinions instead of blindly believing others. And to those mocking his OCD, it’s a genuine condition, not entertainment. He does the same things at home. Why should that be up for public ridicule?” he wrote.
Aryaveer acknowledged the fact that criticism, trolling and abuse comes with being a part of this industry. He knows he cannot control what people say and isn’t even trying to stop anyone from having an opinion. “But basic decency should never be too much to ask. Not everyone is manipulative or chalak. Sometimes, a person is simply being themselves. We’ve become so accustomed to drama that we question the intentions of anyone who behaves differently,” said Manish’s son.
