Youthful Hero Siddharth has apologised to the media fraternity and journalists for a remark he made in the past. He posted the apology on his twitter account “In reference to one of my tweets in the past regarding certain news channels -My comment should have targeted only them for their actions but not their families. I understand that this has upset the journalistic fraternity & their families.As this was not my intention, I wish to apologise to the families of journalists for hurting their sentiments in any way. Thank you.”
There was a furore against Siddharth a few months ago when he made statements against the media and journalists on twitter ““3rd grade ‘N’ews channels will sell their families to make up an hour of TV. Clarifying their garbage & lies is not worth our time. Ignore!”
His last press conference was boycotted by the media and AP Film Journalists’ Association, and it demanded an unconditional apology from Siddharth. The organization has written to the AP Film Chamber of Commerce and South Indian Film Chamber of commerce to ban him until he admits his mistakes.
With this new apology coming from Siddharth just in time for the release of his next film 180, it remains to be seen what the reactions to the apology will be.
