#YoRanveerSoPoor: Ranveer Singh ruthlessly trolled for calling himself POOR

Ranveer Singh after working back to back for ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Gully Boy’, had recently zoomed off for a much needed break to Switzerland. Pictures and videos of his outings there set the social media on fire. The actor is once again trending on social media all thanks to his statement about, “not having enough money but went to ‘US’ on holidays” when he was growing up.

It all started after the ‘Padmaavat’ actor shed light on his family vacations in an interview with Condé Nast Traveller.

In the interview Ranveer said, “We didn’t have a lot of money when I was growing up. So my parents would save up and save up for that one big summer holiday abroad; I remember going to Indonesia, Singapore, Italy, but most often it was the US–we had a lot of family there. And December was always Goa with my grandparents.” (Also Read: VIDEO: Ranveer Singh’s Charlie Chaplin act proves he can pull off anything!)

He soon became the butt of jokes and was mercilessly trolled on social media. Several memes and videos with a Twitter hashtag #YoRanveerSoPoor started trending.

If making annual trips abroad in the 90s was the doings of the poor, we need new adjectives for the economic status of 65% of our country’s population. #YoRanveerSoPoor

We didn’t have enough money while growing up so my parents would save up for that big summer holiday. I remember going to Lado Sarai, Mehrauli, Paschim Vihar, even Punjabi Bagh. But most often it was Hauz Khas- we had a lot of family there. #YoRanveerSoPoor
