Ram Gopal Varma’s Inappropriate Tweet Sparks Outrage
Ram Gopal Varma, known for his provocative online persona, took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on a scene from the War 2 teaser featuring Kiara Advani in a bikini. The tweet, intended to be humorous, was widely condemned for its indecent and sexist undertone. The post read: “Instead of our countries and societies, if the war between Hrithik and Jr NTR is on who gets her bk, then 2 will be a b*buster.”
This crude remark did not sit well with netizens, who labeled the comment as disrespectful and vulgar. Many questioned Varma's intent, pointing out his history of making controversial and offensive statements, particularly about women in the film industry.
Social Media Reactions: Users Call Out Misogyny
The online community responded with strong criticism. From Reddit threads to Twitter replies, users expressed disbelief and disappointment. Here are some of the responses:
“What the actual f**?”* – a user exclaimed in shock.
“And this is what he is uttering publicly… Can you imagine what he is like in private?” – another user commented, reflecting public concern.
“This man has straight up gone to down bad sleazy levels.”
“He lost it many many years ago.”
“This is just RGV. He’s always been an absolute creepazoid.”
These reactions underscore a growing intolerance for misogyny in mainstream discourse, especially when it comes from influential public figures.
Post Deletion: Damage Control Too Late?
Realizing the extent of the backlash, Ram Gopal Varma promptly deleted the controversial tweet. However, screenshots of the post had already gone viral, cementing the damage. Critics argue that removing the post doesn’t undo the harm, and have called for greater accountability from celebrities who misuse their platforms.
