Actor Siddharth Saina has apologized to Nehwal on Twitter. In it, "Dear Saina, I want to apologize to you for the rude joke that I wrote as a response to a tweet of yours a few days ago. I may disagree with you on many things, but even my disappointment or anger when I read your tweet cannot justify my tone and words. I know I have more grace in me than that, as for the joke. If a joke needs to be explained, then it wasn't a very good joke to begin with. Sorry about a joke that didn't land.'
I, however, must insist my wordplay and humour had none of the malicious intent that so many people from all quarters have attributed to it. I am a staunch feminist ally, and I assure you there was no gender implied in my tweet and certainly no intent to attack you as a woman. I hope we can put this behind us and that you will accept my letter. You will always be my Champion. Honestly, Siddharth.' The issue came to an end after Siddharth publicly apologized.
