It
all
began
when
Vivek
Oberoi
shared
an
offensive
meme
yesterday
which
involved
Salman
Khan,
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
his
daughter
Aaradhya
and
the
lady
in
question-
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan.
The
actor
reposted
a
meme
on
his
Twitter
page
which
featured
Salman-Aishwarya's
relationship
as
'opinion
poll',
his
affair
with
Aishwarya
as
'exit
poll' and
then
Abhishek-Aishwarya-Aaradhya's
family
picture
as
'the
final
result'.
As
soon
as
the
tweet
went
viral,
the
actor
received
heavy
backlash
on
social
media.
Amidst
all
this,
Vivek
has
now
deleted
that
meme
and
issued
an
apology
on
his
Twitter
page.
Vivek
Oberoi's
'Controversial'
Tweet
Right
from
Sonam
Kapoor
to
the
National
Commission
for
Women,
everyone
heavily
slammed
Vivek
for
reposting
such
a
distasteful
meme
which
involved
a
married
woman
and
a
minor
child.
This
Is
What
Vivek
Had
Said
Earlier
Over
The
Backlash
If
that
wasn't
enough,
later
in
an
interview,
Vivek
refused
to
apologize
and
instead
said,
"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
at
it.
I
appreciated
the
person
for
his
creativity.
If
someone
mocks
you,
you
should
not
take
it
seriously."
He
had
added,
"Those
who
are
in
the
meme
have
no
objection
while
scores
of
politicians
are
trying
to
politicise
the
issue.
They
don't
work
on
issues
but
start
their
politics
on
such
non-issues."
However
Now,
There's
A
Twist
In
The
Tale
This
morning,
the
actor
issued
an
apology
on
his
Twitter
handle
and
wrote,
"Sometimes
what
appears
to
be
funny
and
harmless
at
first
glance
to
one,
may
not
be
so
to
others.
I
have
spent
the
last
10
years
empowering
more
than
2000
underprivileged
girls,
I
cant
even
think
of
being
disrespectful
to
any
woman
ever."
He
Even
Deleted
The
Tweet
"Even
if
one
woman
is
offended
by
my
reply
to
the
meme,
it
calls
for
remedial
action.
Apologies.
tweet
deleted,"
wrote
the
actor.
On
the
work
front,
Vivek
will
be
next
seen
in
Omung
Kumar's
'PM
Narendra
Modi' biopic
which
is
slated
to
release
this
Friday.
The
film
was
supposed
to
release
earlier,
but
got
postponed
because
of
Lok
Sabha
elections.
