Actor Vivek Oberoi on Tuesday apologised for sharing a meme on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's private life after critical grievance on social media and in other places, but that lower little ice with a charity organisation that dropped him from a fund-raising match.
Oberoi, who won a realize from the National Commission for Women asking for an cause of sharing the insulting and misogynistic tweet, also deleted the arguable put up.
The actor on Monday shared a meme with three panels, one featuring him, some other with Salman Khan and a third with Aishwarya's husband Abhishek and daughter Aaradhya.
The meme used to be a take on the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the result of which can be declared on Thursday.
"Sometimes what appears to be funny and harmless at first glance to one, may not be so to others. I have spent the last 10 years empowering more than 2000 underprivileged girls. I can't even think of being disrespectful to any woman ever," he tweeted.
"Even if one woman is offended by my reply to the meme, it calls for remedial action. Apologies.. tweet deleted," the actor added.
But the Smile Foundation used to be unimpressed.
"In view of the recent development related to Mr Vivek Anand Oberoi's social media posts, Smile Foundation disassociates itself with the celebrity for the fundraising event on Odisha Fani Cyclone relief at DLF Promenade. We as an organisation stand for women empowerment and his statements are not in line with our belief statement," the organisation mentioned in remark.
Social media users, including contributors of the film fraternity, blasted the actor for sharing something that used to be distasteful and crass.
Oberoi, who is these days selling a biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, used to be to start with adamant that people had been unnecessarily politicising the problem.
"Someone sent me a creative meme where I was being made fun of. I just wrote, 'Ha ha,' and appreciated the other person. When someone makes fun of you, you should laugh and not take it so seriously. I even wrote there that there's nothing political about it. It's life and such things happen in life that you are with someone and then you move on in life," he mentioned quickly after the debate broke on Monday.
The U-turn got here day after today.
Praising himself for working against empowering 2,000 underprivileged women in the closing one decade, the actor mentioned he may just never factor of being disrespectful to any woman ever while issuing an apology.
