Nikita Rawal has publicly called for a boycott of actor Ranbir Kapoor using the hashtag #BoycottRanbirKapoor until he issues a public apology, entertainment outlets report. Multiple reports say Rawal’s demand specifically references a past remark by Kapoor about beef and seeks an apology for that comment.

What Rawal demanded

Reports indicate Rawal tied the boycott call to that earlier remark and urged an apology as a condition for ending the campaign. Coverage cites her use of the hashtag to drive the demand, though published accounts do not include a direct statement from Kapoor or an immediate response from his representatives.

Coverage and context

The story appears across several Indian entertainment outlets, including Mashable India, Newspatrolling.com, BollyWood ki Baten, and Media Hindustan, which frame Rawal’s action in the wider context of a Ramayana film and related actors controversy. Those reports present the boycott appeal as part of ongoing tensions around the film’s casting and public discourse. It is not clear from the published accounts whether Kapoor has replied or whether any apology has been offered.

The reporting highlights a developing reputational issue tied to social media activism and film-industry controversies. Observers may note the absence of an on-record response from Kapoor as an important unknown while the boycott hashtag circulates on social platforms.
