The video has left many fans disappointed, with social media users criticising Riteish for his seemingly rude behaviour.

Stay humble bhai and you will lose nothing out of it." The third one said, "That was incredibly rude. Are these your true colours? Your facial expressions and attitude say a lot, and not in a good way. I expected a grown man to show more self-control and maturity. It wouldn't hurt to stay grounded and respectful." Netizens slammed Riteish Deshmukh for his cringe-worthy and adult jokes related to Housefull 5. One user commented, "He has this kind of attitude after making a film like Housefull 5?" while another wrote, "Making movies like Housefull and still carrying such arrogance, wow!"
