Vir Das shares shocking video of his neighbour sneezing at him purposely and threatening to assault him

Actor and standup comedian Vir Das shared an incident that he faced last night. He stays on the ground floor of his building, he invited a neighbour to his house to have some food and he said that he had followed all the social distancing rules. An old man apparently didn’t like this and he started yelling at him, blackmailing him and also abused him. Vir filmed the video where the man is also seen sneezing at Vir purposely.

Giving a detailed explanation of the incident, Vir wrote in his statement, “This is one crazy evening. I live on the ground floor. We’ve got a little sit out. At 10 pm a neighbour came by because we had cooked dinner for them too. We do that with them and also some others within the complex. We gave him a chair fifteen feet away, FULLY social distanced. My neighbour had a can of coke from his house, a mask on, which he had pulled down to have a smoke. I was on the outdoor sit area of my house, neighbour was in the complex, fully social distanced. Five minutes later, this happens.”

He further wrote, “This man is not my landlord, he lives on the first floor of the annexe building. He is upset because my landlord inherited the house I live in and he didn’t. This man does not own my doorstep, my sit-out or my house. I am not sure if an old man threatening to assault me, or sneezing on me, or asking his dead parent to haunt me qualifies as harassment. But this is a little ridiculous. And before this turns into him going to the media, as he has done before, and I’ve sat through it quietly…I’m not normally one for drama…I’m sorry but this crossed the line. How’s your lockdown going?”

The actor also tweeted, “To be clear. Uncle has previously gone to tabloids to get articles written about me and my family. I let it go quietly multiple times before. I have posted this here because at least then the truth is out there before seedy articles. Tonight crossed the line. Hope you understand.”
