| Controversy | Criticised For His Comments: In 2019, after the release of the Bollywood film Kabir Singh, Sandeep Reddy Vanga was severely criticised for his controversial statement on love. In an interview, he said, "When you are deeply in love and deeply connected to a woman (and vice versa), if you donât have the liberty of slapping each other, then I donât see anything there. She slapped him without a reason, at least Kabir had a reason to slap her. If you canât slap, if you canât touch your woman wherever you want, if you canât kiss, I donât see emotion there.â Later, in another interview, he clarified that people misjudged his statement. He said, "What I meant was that there should be no barrier between two people in love. I never used the word abuse, which is being wrongly attributed to me. If youâre not brutally honest with each other, whatâs the point of a relationship?" |
