RJ Naved is known for his lighthearted jokes and social messages. Right from raising awareness about rape culture in the country to his monologues on aborting fictional girl child, he has been in news for propagating good causes. However, things took a turn for the worse when he pranked a pet owner whose dog had recently gone missing.

The RJ, who came across the phone number of the guy on the posters he had put up for his missing dog, told the owner that he had found the furball, which was evidently a lie. When the guy realised it was just a dirty prank, he started abusing RJ Naved.

Now, deriving pleasure out of other people’s misery is not good and as expected, Netizens didn’t take it too kindly.

@rjnaved @RadioMirchi The most insensitive & uncivil prank. A family who had put up posters to find their lost pet receives such a call from you. Pets are family. Would you play this prank if a human child was lost?#ShamefulEntertainment #dogs #dog pic.twitter.com/Ww6QTHj0Lm

Here are some of the reactions.

Clearly nobody in this entire channel has any empathy. To play with someone’s emotions like that?Dude It’s an individual choice..adopting a human or animal.If ur so concerned abt underprivileged humans then spread awareness abt overpopulation and set and example by adopting them!

I have been following @rjnaved for many years now. I respect his thoughts on many social issues. And his prank calls (can’t vouch for it’s genuineness) are hilarious/ thought provoking most of the time.
But with this he has pushed the limits of humor to insensitivity and …1/2

.. has hurt the sentiments of animal lovers. @rjnaved must definitely apologize or at least explain himself if he wants people to still respect him, even if he is a ‘good’ person. I personally feel he would explain this sooner or later. 2/2

When u can mock a pet owners suffering, how can u behave as the messiah of sensitivity? #RJNaved #petlovershateyou

Looking a pet is painful, and making jokes on it is even more insensitive.
Need an apology #RJNaved .
