On Monday, the actor received widespread backlash on Twitter for his reply to the Olympic bronze medallist바카라s tweet on the alleged lapse in the security of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Punjab visit.
In an open letter published on Twitter late Tuesday evening, the 바카라Rang De Basanti바카라 star said even though he may disagree with Nehwal's views, his tone of the tweet cannot be justified.
바카라Dear Saina, I want to apologise to you for my rude joke that I wrote as a response to a tweet of yours, a few days ago. I may disagree with you on many things but even my disappointment or anger when I read your tweet, cannot justify my tone and words. I know I have more grace in me than that.
바카라As for the joke... If a joke needs to be explained, then it wasn바카라t a very good joke to begin with. Sorry about a joke that didn't land,바카라 he said. The 42-year-old actor wrote he is a 바카라staunch feminist바카라 and would never say anything to a woman with 바카라malicious intent바카라.
Siddharth hoped that the badminton star would accept his apology. 바카라I, however, must insist my word play and humour had none of the malicious intent that so many people from all quarters have attributed to it. I am a staunch feminist ally and I assure you there was no gender implied in my tweet and certainly no intent to attack you as a woman.
바카라I hope we can put this behind us and that you will accept my letter. You will always be my Champion. Honestly, Siddharth,바카라 he added. Earlier, Nehwal had said she was not sure what the actor meant by his comment but expressed her displeasure over his tweet.
바카라I used to like him as an actor but this was not nice. He can express himself with better words but I guess it's Twitter and you remain noticed with such words and comments. If the security of the PM of India is an issue then I'm not sure what is secure in the country,바카라 she had said. Saina is currently playing in the Indian Open 2022. Â
The National Commission for Women (NCW) had asked Twitter India to 바카라immediately바카라 block the actor바카라s account as it claimed the comment was misogynistic, outraged the modesty of a woman, amounted to disrespect and insulted the dignity of women.
NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma had also written to the Maharashtra DGP to investigate the matter and register an FIR against Siddharth.
