Actor Siddharth is an extremely opinionated and vocal individual. The ‘Mahasamudram’ actor doesn’t shy away from expressing his criticism for the government and has been one of its sharpest critics. While criticism is fine in a democracy, things took an ugly turn recently. The actor, to express his disagreement with India’s champion Badminton player Saina Nehwal tweeted a rather crass wordplay.
It all started when Saina Nehwal tweeted regarding the recent Punjab incident that involved PM’s security fiasco. She stated that the nation can’t claim to be safe if the PM himself isn’t safe.
Siddharth in retaliation to this tweet by Saina posted an objectionable Tweet that has caught the attention and criticism of the National Commission of Women, His co-star Khusboo Sundar, singer Chinmayee and a number of Twitter users who have all lashed out at Siddharth. Many have even requested Twitter authorities to disable his account while others have requested for a stricter action from authorities.
Meanwhile, the actor has issued a clarification about his intention of Tweet. He said that it is a common phrase and there was no insult intended.
