Mumbai: Ram Gopal Varma recently made headlines for trolling Tiger Shroff, calling him a 'bikini babe' and asking him to learn 'machoism' from his father. 

While the filmmaker is known for making such controversial statements on Twitter, perhaps for the first time, politicians and a woman organisation also slammed the filmmaker for his Women's Day tweet.

On the occasion of Women’s Day, Varma had tweeted, "I wish all the women in the world give men as much happiness as Sunny Leone gives."

While Varma went on justifying the reason behind his tweet, the filmmaker was heavily slammed on social media for the ‘insensitive’ comment.

Later, a women’s organisation Ranragini, which has affiliation to Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, filed a complaint against RGV. He also got into a spat on Twitter with NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad who asked him to apologise for his comments. Even BJP MLA Ram Kadam warned him of ‘consequences’ if he did not apologise.

While Varma had earlier tweeted that he would file a counter complaint against the one filed by Ranragini, he finally took to Twitter to apologise for his tweet calling it ‘unintended insensitive’ tweets. He also added that the apology was only for the ones who were genuinely offended and not for the ones who ‘ranted for publicity’ or threatened to take law into their hands.
