Actor Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), who is often called Hrithik Roshan’s doppelganger, is in the news for facing flak from the netizens.
Bradley, in his 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook, did a scene where he’s narrating Lord Ganesha’s story to his friends using cuss words like ‘f**k and s**t’. Although the scene never made it to the final cut, it has surfaced on the internet, all thanks to his co-star Anupam Kher.
It all happened when Anupam Kher shared the deleted scene from their film on their X account. In the deleted scene, Anupam narrated the origins of Ganpati while holding a small murti. Later, Bradley shares the story of the Lord in his style, with all the abuses. This particular scene has now irked the netizens, and even Kher is facing the heat.

Netizens’ reaction to Bradley Cooper’s absurd narration of Lord Ganesha’s story
Several internet users have found out Bradley’s scene offensive and distasteful. A user wrote, “Now we know why it was deleted.” Another user wrote, “Thank God it’s deleted… so badly represented the story … Thank God … sense prevails … @AnupamPKher sir, stop promoting this … it’s way way BAD.” One of the netizens wrote, “Sir, with all due respect, you’ve been played by those commies in Hollywood in this scene. Don’t you see the objectionable language used by Bradley Cooper about Shiva and Ganesha? Using dialogue with words filled with “S**t”,”F**k”, etc. We don’t NEED their validation.”
