Ram Gopal Varma has often been known to hog the limelight for the negative rather than the positive. It might as well be considered at times that he gets bitten by a bug that makes him say the most bizarre of things out in public. Rakhi Sawant who could be considered to think on the same lines as RGV came out in support of him regarding his derogatory tweet about Tiger Shroff and found it rather ‘unfortunate’ that RGV has to apologise.
Ram Gopal Varma’s rather sexist tweet on International Women’s Day drew a lot of flak from the internet and his comments were regarded in bad tatse, of course. What irked many even more is how shamelessly he admitted in his cryptic apology that his apology wasn’t meant to those ‘attacking’ him.
RGV is quite ‘infamous’ for his opinions that he puts forth blatantly on social media and he recently got embroiled in another controversy when he tweeted Tiger’s picture of a magazine cover, with the caption: “Truly real men like Bruce Lee and ‘bindasbhidu’ (Jackie Shroff’s Twitter handle) never pose in a ‘Urmliaish’ way.”
@iTIGERSHROFF Please learn machoism from @bindasbhidu who even without martial arts poses more like a man and never like this pic.twitter.com/4NzLg3cjUZ

At a recent event, Tiger slammed the veteran filmmaker in the most subtle manner saying,
“I am not even half the man that my father is. He is the original hero. Even if I tried I can’t be like him. But everyone has the freedom of speech. He is a senior director, so, there’s not much I can say to him. I try to be my own individual self and be different. I try to express my individuality as much as I can. Some might appreciate my artistic expression, some may not. To each his own.”
Tiger further added,
“I believe everybody does have the freedom of speech. But there are some limits that shouldn’t be crossed. It is sad that some people aren’t aware of that, aren’t educated enough.”
Well, Tiger’s reaction to Ram Gopal Varma’s comment on him is sheer MACHOISM!
