A Clickbait title that's gone Viral: Ranjeet Recalls Hitting Sridevi With A Hunter, Laughing Like A Villain On Camera & Wailing

The same title has gone viral and been used in several sites and blogs; the implication in the ways the words have been set is, Ranjeeth was crying because he hit Sridevi. That is NOT the case if you read the articles. He was weeping as his father had died - on set as the villain in the film Sherni, he had to act out a violent scene with the leading lady. 

Am reminded of the film Guddi where a naïve girl confuses the on-screen villain to be a real life villain. Ranjeeth may have acted as a villain in hudnreds of films but the mostly shy and conservative Punjabi family man is nothing like his on-screen persona.
