“I didn’t know who this girl was. I saw a tweet by Sehwag (former cricketer Virender Sehwag) and I often laugh at his jokes. He makes pretty funny jokes about all kinds of things. And I just laughed at it and left it. I didn’t see the connotation in it then I got some messages, and that some prominent journalists are making comments on it, conversing on it,” the actor said.
He added: “I went back to Twitter, and quickly went on to the internet and saw what was happening on it. I could put two and two together and I immediately said that don’t politicize this poor girl’s point of view. And then those two words were taken (out of context), for ‘poor’ they said that you are misogynist and ‘girl’ they said you are a sexist. I said ‘Hey if it was a boy, I would have said the same thing’.”
