Sonam Kapoor on sexist tweets: ‘Have better things to talk about’
The filmmaker had made a comment about actress Sunny Leone on International Women’s Day
Actress Sonam Kapoor has refused to react to filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma’s tweet about Sunny Leone.
“I can’t comment on Ram Gopal Varma. We have better things to talk about. I would not dignify that with an answer,” Kapoor said at the opening of a store in Mumbai on Thursday.
Actress Konkona Sen Sharma, who was also present at the event, said: “I have not seen this particular tweet. But I don’t appreciate anybody making any sexist remark.”
Varma, who is not new to social media feuds, on International Women’s Day, tweeted: “I wish all the women in the world give men as much happiness as Sunny Leone gives.”
After receiving flak, he tweeted: “Was just expressing my feelings but I apologise to all who were offended due to my unintended insensitive tweets in the context of women’s day.”
“My apology is only to those who genuinely got offended and not to those who ranted for publicity and threatened to take law into their hands,” he added.
