  "account": "Ranvir Shorey addressed ex-Pooja Bhatt's brother Rahul Bhatt's claims regarding their past breakup, where allegations of physical violence and a public altercation arose. In a new post on X, Ranvir stated he wished to put the matter to rest but felt compelled to address some \"missing\" pieces. This came after Rahul admitted during a conversation with Siddharth Kannan that he regretted overreacting during the breakup and taking matters into his own hands. Ranvir welcomed the truth, exclaiming, \"I'm glad over 20 years of malicious propaganda and slander has finally given way to some truth! Let me add the missing piece, so it can finally rest now: defending yourself against violence to escape someone toxic is not ‘hitting’!\"",
