Old video of Ranveer asking Anushka if she wants her a** pinched goes viral. Internet roasts Singh
On the third season of Karan Johar's chat show, Ranveer Singh had asked Anushka Sharma if she wanted her a** pinched. A video of the comment has resurfaced on the internet.
Cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are facing the heat for their stint on Karan Johar's chat show. Hardik has been at the receiving end of a lot of backlash for his crass and misogynistic comments. In fact, the two cricketers have been suspended from the ODI series against Australia.
The Committee of Administrators (CoA) of the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) issued a statement announcing that Hardik and Rahul have been suspended from playing any form of cricket, as of now. "An enquiry and proceedings will be made against them for misconduct and indiscipline," the statement read.
Meanwhile, an old video of Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma on the show has resurfaced on the internet. In the clip, which dates back to 2011, Ranveer is heard asking Anushka, "Hey, you want your a** pinched? I'm right here." As Karan laughs, the actress looks gobsmacked and eventually admonishes him by saying, "Don't talk to me like that."
Ranveer is at the receiving end of a lot of flak for his crass comment. Twitter users are also calling out Karan for not only condoning such remarks but laughing along.
A fan club of Ranveer defended the actor and claimed that he "regrets" saying those things. They also curated an apology video for him. In one of the segments of the apology video, Ranveer is heard saying that the last time he came on Karan's show, it was a "disaster". He said that the fact that he shared the couch with Anushka was the "only saving grace".
"It was a disaster because it was my first big talk show. I didn't know what to say," Ranveer said, calling Karan a "needler (sic)". "I now know better. I have got my guards up," he added.
