...regarding his tone of message, it would have been forgotten in a few days, had he not done the blunder of unfollowing Hiba in the very next morning...the unfollowing in such a short notice added fuel to the fire and made his message appear more rude and disrespectful..
Absolutely. His initial message — even with its harsh tone — might have blown over in a couple of days if left at just that. Fans were already trying to rationalize and move on. But the real explosion happened because of the unfollow.
When he unfollowed Hiba immediately after posting that note, it unintentionally sent a very loud statement — that even she was somehow part of the “problem” he was ranting about. Whether that was his intention or not, the timing made it look personal, not just a general boundary-setting.
And that’s exactly why people found it disrespectful. Because it wasn’t just about shippers at that point — it reflected poorly on his equation with his own co-star, who had handled all this way more gracefully in the past.
Also, you’re right — most genuine Krushi shippers weren’t out here imagining some fairytale romance. They simply appreciated their friendship and off-screen bond. Ironically, few extreme shippers and toxic solos are the ones who keep turning everything into a battlefield.
The unfollow turned an avoidable situation into a full-blown PR disaster. And sadly, the tone of the message will now forever be remembered alongside that move
