Ram Gopal Varma has given an apology of sorts for his tweets on Women’s Day. However, this apology – also a tweet – comes after some political pressure, and an FIR against him.
Ram Gopal Varma came under attack for his tweets, in particular one directed at Sunny Leone. An activist from Goa – Vishakha Mhambre, also filed a complaint. Political parties too got into the act, and politicians from NCP and BJP demanded Ram Gopal Varma apologise.
Was just expressing my feelings but I apologise to all who were offended due to my unintended insensitive tweets in context of women’s day

My apology is only to those who genuinely got offended and not to those who ranted for publicity nd threatened to take law into their hands

Meanwhile, Sunny Leone put out a video in which she says people need to “choose their words wisely”
