The
misogynistic
and
sexist
comments
of
Hardik
Pandya
have
created
uproar.
The
25-year-old
all-rounder
had
boasted
about
hooking
up
with
multiple
women
on
the
Sunday
episode
of
the
Karan
Johar's
chat
show,
Koffee
With
Karan.
Both
Pandya
and
KL
Rahul
have
been
reprimanded
by
the
Board
of
Control
for
Cricket
in
India
(BCCI),
which
is
mulling
a
ban
on
the
cricketers.
Karan
Johar
is
yet
to
address
the
controversy
and
netizens
are
anything
but
impressed
with
him!
Netizens
slam
Mr
Johar
for
his
silence
and
called
him
out
for
laughing
at
Hardik's
sexist
remarks.
Here's
what
they
have
to
say
about
Karan
Johar..

@ApatheistWrites:
"Why
is
everyone
silent
about
"South
Bombay
Richie"
@karanjohar?
He
asks
all
kinds
of
sexist
questions
for
his
disgusting
giggles.
The
man
is
silent
&
posting
pictures
with
the
PM.

@grahammiranda7:
"Sadly
the
man
(#karanjohar)
who
should
have
steered
the
interview
towards
mutual
respect
towards
women
chooses
to
remain
quiet.
He
did
the
same
thing
with
Kangana
Ranaut.
Lest
we
forget.
#KanganaRanaut."

@Stania09:
"Irrespective
of
BCCI's
reaction
mindset
of
these
two
guys
on
the
show
remains
regressive
&
#KaranJohar
's
laughter
doesn't
add
any
cool
quotient
to
these
kind
of
repulsiveness
being
televised."

@DeepikaBhardwaj:
"Criticism
of
#HardikPandya
for
his
comments
on
#KoffeeWithKaran
is
right.
But
why
no
one's
questioning
Karan
Johar
for
sexist
questions
he
asks?
Rate
women
in
bollywood
basis
their
"sex
appeal".
Why
that's
not
problematic?
Or
he's
spared
cuz
he
calls
himself
a
Feminist?"
[sic]
Pandya
has
apologised
for
his
remarks,
saying
he
got
"carried
away
by
the
nature" of
the
show.
"After
reflecting
on
my
comments
on
Koffee
with
Karan,
I
would
like
to
apologise
to
everyone
concerned
who
I
may
have
hurt
in
any
way.
Honestly,
I
got
a
bit
carried
away
with
the
nature
of
the
show.
In
no
way
did
I
mean
to
disrespect
or
hurt
anyone's
sentiments.
Respect,"
he
had
said
in
his
apology.
