Would’ve reacted similarly for any girl: Sidharth on KRK row

Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra says his reaction on Kamaal Rashid Khan’s (KRK) derogatory comments on a magazine cover featuring him and Alia Bhatt was natural.

The 31-year-old actor and rumoured girlfriend Alia posed in beach wear on the cover, ahead of the release of their film Kapoor & Sons.

Sidharth indulged in a Twitter war with the former Bigg Boss contestant after he posted offensive comments calling the 22-year-old actress “bacchi” following which the Brothers star told him to “shut up”.

“I am surprised that a person like him have so many followers on Twitter. I was online by chance, when he started posting cheap comments,” Sidharth said.

“I just couldn’t stop but react to it. It’s not about Alia. I would have reacted the same way for any other girl, if I had noticed something on my page from him before,” he added.

KRK went on to give death threats to the Kapoor & Sons actor, but he is least bothered about such statements.

“I don’t care about such threats. I am not afraid of standing against wrong.”

The young star was speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016 where he walked the ramp for designer Kunal Rawal.
