What caught many people's attention was not the demolition itself, but the actor's calm and courteous conversation with the authorities. The anti-encroachment drive was carried out by the Town and Country Planning Department as part of an effort to remove structures allegedly built in violation of building regulations.

Why the ramp outside Chandrachur Singh's house was removed

According to ETimes, officials conducting the demolition drive stated that the ramp outside Chandrachur Singh's home had been constructed without the required permissions.

The operation was part of a larger crackdown on unauthorised constructions across the DLF neighbourhood in Gurugram. Several structures were reportedly demolished during the drive for violating building norms.

The ramp outside the actor's residence was among the structures removed by authorities.

Actor walks out to speak with officials

As the demolition work continued, Chandrachur Singh came outside and engaged in a conversation with officials present at the site.

The actor reportedly asked whether any action would be taken inside his property and informed officials that his father had purchased the house in 1991.

He also questioned the removal of the ramp but maintained a composed and respectful tone throughout the interaction.

Viral video wins praise online

The video of the exchange has gained traction online, with many social media users highlighting the polite manner in which both sides handled the situation.



During the discussion, Singh asked whether the demolition proceedings were being officially recorded and requested the name of the officer leading the operation.

District Town Planner Amit Madhaulia identified himself, following which the actor shook hands with him and other members of the team.

The interaction ended on a cordial note, a detail that many viewers pointed out while sharing the clip online.

Chandrachur Singh's journey from 'Josh' to recent projects

Chandrachur Singh rose to fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s with films such as Maachis and Josh, where he shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai.

Born on October 11, 1968, in New Delhi, the actor has worked across films and television and is also known for projects such as Cuttputlli.

What is Chandrachur Singh's latest film?

The actor was most recently seen in Bayaan, a police procedural directed by Bikas Ranjan Mishra.

The film stars Huma Qureshi as police officer Roohi, who investigates sexual abuse allegations against a powerful cult leader while navigating institutional challenges and mounting pressure.

The cast also includes Sachin Khedekar, Avijit Dutt, Sampa Mandal, Preeti Shukla, Aditi Kanchan Singh, Paritosh Sand, Vibhore Mayank, Swati Das and Perry Chhabra.

Bayaan premiered in the Discovery section of the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival before being screened in the A Window on Asian Cinema section at the 30th Busan International Film Festival.

For now, however, it is not his latest film but his measured response during a demolition drive that has put Shah Rukh Khan's former co-star back in the public conversation.
