Gurmehar Kaur Trolls Randeep Hooda’s Clarification
| |||
Friday, 10th March 2016, 12:00 PM IST Gurmehar Kaur’s controversy doesn’t seem to end soon. The controversy started after cricketer Virender Sehwag trolled DU student’s peace campaign. Randeep Hooda praised Viru paaji and then all hell broke loose. Randeep even posted his clarification on Facebook and recently again spoke about it and also apologized. Randeep said, “I do believe I should have been more careful about my tweets and a young girl like her shouldn't have gone through it.” “I didn't know who this girl was and I saw a tweet by Sehwag and I often laugh at his jokes. He jokes about all kind of things and I just laughed at it and I didn't look at it. Then, I start getting messages and some prominent journalists were commenting on it. Then, I quickly went back on Twitter and saw what's happening. I very precisely said that do not politicize this poor girl's point of view and those two words were taken - poor and girl - then they said you are a misogynist and sexist. I said hey! I pointedly said that violence is wrong. People were coming up with things like despite being a girl, she is thinking about it. Let me clarify that I wasn't aware of it then and when I did become aware, I issued a statement and it was not directed at her at all.” However, the young girl doesn’t seem to forgive him. On his apology, Gurmehar tweeted, “I didn't tweet my hands did.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’sfirst Box Office mobile app from here –Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp | |||
