However, a day before the apology, he is the same person who was standing on his point of view for sharing the meme. Even he just not tweeted the apology, he also told ANI,"People are saying apologise, I have no problem in apologising, but tell me what wrong have I done? If I have done something wrong I will apologise. I don't think I have done anything wrong. What's wrong in it?"
"Somebody tweeted a meme and I laughed at it. I don't know why people are making a huge issue out of it. Someone had sent me a meme which made fun of me. I laughed on it and I appreciated the person for his creativity. If someone mocks at you, you should not take it seriously. Those in the meme don't have a problem, but everyone else has." He further said.
