Vivek apologises and deletes his tweet

And finally here comes an apology from Vivek Oberoi, who for all that you know, had come at the receiving end for sharing a ‘disrespectful’ meme featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Oberoi, who reportedly dated the actor-former Miss World in the early 2000s, posted a meme featuring her with husband Abhishek Bachchan, daughter Aaradhya and Salman Khan.

The meme was a take on the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the results of which will be declared on Thursday.

However, perhaps Vivek had a change of mind as he just took up to Twitter to not only delete the meme but also issue a public apology to everyone who got offended by his not-so-funny joke.

“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. Even if one woman is offended by my reply to the meme, it calls for remedial action. Apologies tweet deleted.”, writes Vivek.
