Subtle cock champion of the world… Thank God we have protectors of India.
Shame on you #Rihanna

What a pathetic loser you're. Saina Nehwal has a right to have a political ideology & prefrence. You can disagree or debate or even criticise. But using such odious words for someone who has brought laurels to the county is downright disgusting. https://t.co/DXjp9VuPOy

Indians know 'Saina Nehwal' as Badminton champion
But one has to give reference of 2006 movie 'Rang De Basanti' and ppl would say "Acha Acha Woh Rang de basanti wala side actor”
That’s the aukaat of Actor Siddharth

Saina Nehwal being a bigger person. Ofcourse she is. One cannot compare an Olympian who made the country proud to some actor who is jobless.

With these tweets, it is clear that the people and netizens have not taken it lightly and are outraged by the comments.
Actor Siddharth has not issued any apology rather has tried to clear his stance on this by pointing out that he did not mean to be sexist.
"COCK & BULL"
That's the reference. Reading otherwise is unfair and leading!
Nothing disrespectful was intended, said or insinuated. Period. ??
