It has been exactly two months since Naveen posted a cryptic video on his official Instagram handle. The video showed a narrative of a tiger arguing with a donkey, with a simple message in the conclusion. In the video, a quote catches attention:
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.

Others are blinded by ego, hatred, and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.
