Sivaji Apologizes After Controversial Remarks on Women's Clothing
After Sivaji claims RESPECT for women, Internet recalls CONTROVERSIAL Bigg Boss moments · bollywoodlife.com

Actor Sivaji made some comments about women's clothing at a movie event.

He said women should wear sarees or dresses that cover their bodies fully.

After he apologized and said he respects women, old videos of him from Bigg Boss were shared online.

In these videos, he made some offensive and violent remarks about women.

People on the internet were not convinced by his apology and shared these old clips to show his past behavior.

Some users even said that women on the show supported him, which helped him reach the top 3.

A famous singer, Chinmayi Sripada, also shared his old footage and made a comment about respecting women but also criticizing his behavior.

Sivaji explained that his comments were influenced by an incident where actress Nidhhi Agerwal was mobbed while wearing an off-shoulder dress.

He clarified that his intention was to address safety concerns, not to police women's clothing choices.

Despite his apology, the Telangana State Commission for Women has summoned him for an enquiry, and actress Payal Rajput has criticized his remarks as regressive and inappropriate.
