Gurmeet Chaudhary's appeal to Bihar audiences for his upcoming film Tum Mere Ho has triggered criticism on social media just before the movie's theatrical release on 23 October. The actor asked people from Bihar to support the project, describing their backing as his strength.
In a social media message, Chaudhary said he had invested significant effort, money and emotion in making the film. He also presented himself as someone proud of his connection with Bihar and asked audiences to visit cinemas so that support for him and the film would be visible.
The appeal included a claim that some people wanted to pull him down. Chaudhary said the people of Bihar gave him confidence and urged them to stand with him when Tum Mere Ho reached nearby theatres.
Why the message faced criticism
The promotional appeal did not receive the response the actor appeared to seek. Several users accused him of remembering Bihar and its people mainly while promoting his film.
The criticism focused particularly on floods and other problems in the state. One user questioned why Chaudhary's voice had not been heard during those situations. Another asked where he had been during the floods. A further comment compared the level of support expected for his film with the support users said he had shown Bihar's people during that period.
These reactions turned the film promotion into a social media controversy. The comments challenged the use of regional identity in a message seeking support for a commercial release, although the available material records the users' criticism rather than establishing any separate response from Chaudhary.
What is known about the film
Tum Mere Ho has been directed by Ashish Panda and features Chaudhary alongside Isha Malviya. The film is described as combining romance, heartbreak and action.
The project marks Malviya's Bollywood debut. For Chaudhary, the film also carries a personal financial commitment because he has acted in it and invested money as a producer.
The film is scheduled to release in cinemas on 23 October. Its promotional campaign has therefore reached audiences amid an online dispute over Chaudhary's Bihar appeal. The available information does not establish what effect the criticism will have on the film's box-office performance.
Conclusion
Gurmeet Chaudhary's request for Bihar's support before Tum Mere Ho's 23 October release has instead drawn questions about his visibility during floods and other problems in the state. The film's theatrical response remains unconfirmed.
