Earlier this month, a viral video of producer and director Ram Gopal Varma getting all cozy with actress Inaya Sultana, went viral on social media.
The filmmaker was seen grabbing the actress from behind for an intimate dance, during a house party.
The problem most people online seemed to have with the video, was with the generic statue quo of female actors in Bollywood. Some called this out as an ‘inappropriate behavior’ and alleged that it looked ‘forced’ and is something many actress have to go through in the industry.
RGV appeared unfazed from all these allegations and accusations, as he took to his Twitter to joke about the video, stating that the ones shown in the video are in fact not him and Inaya – swearing it on US president Joe Biden.
I once again want to clarify that the guy in this video is not me and the Girl in Red is not @inaya_sultana and I swear this on American President JOE BIDEN pic.twitter.com/K8nNera7Rc
