Tiger Shroff On Ram Gopal Varma's Comments: "Glad I've Made Some Sort Of An Identity"

New Delhi: Actor Tiger Shroff responded to filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's comments, which actor Vidyut Jammwal taped and tweeted on Wednesday. In the conversation which Vidyut shared via his SoundCloud account, RGV referred to Tiger as 'transgender' and a 'woman.' After RGV's tweets and this conversation went viral, the Heropanti actor told PTI that it may not seem appropriate if he says his 'mann ki baat,' as the Sarkar director is a senior member of the film fraternity. "But I am just glad I've made some sort of an identity, mark in the industry that people are at least talking about me. I've made some sort of impact," Tiger Shroff told PTI.

"It would be out of line for me to react. I don't want to bring shame to my mother, father and I don't think they would want me to react. I don't want to give more light to this situation," he added.

On Wednesday, Vidyut Jammwal's tweeted:

A few of Ram Gopal Varma's tweets which prompted Vidyut's expose:
 

If @iTIGERSHROFF openly challenges @VidyutJammwal for a direct real fight @VidyutJammwal will runaway to the Shaolin Temple

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) April 10, 2017

 

My bet is on @iTIGERSHROFF and am sure he will prove he's Bruce Lee ka baap by destroying @VidyutJammwal in an open challenge real fight

And after Vidyut shared their conversation, RGV tweeted this apology:
 

Just decided to get off Vodka and also want to apologise to every1 i evr bothered including Lord Ganpati's devotees nd @PawanKalyan 's fans

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) April 11, 2017

 

I truly thank @VidyutJammwal for my changeover nd I want to apologise to Bruce Lee for not understanding him the way Vidyut made me realise

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) April 11, 2017

This is not the first time Ram Gopal Varma has body-shamed Tiger Shroff. On Tiger Shroff's birthday, Ram Gopal Varma shared a still from his film Baaghi and said: "Please learn machoism from @bindasbhidu who even without martial arts poses more like a man and never like this (sic)." He compared Tiger to his father, Jackie Shroff, who stars in his upcoming film Sarkar 3.

Ram Gopal Varma was also in trouble recently for an unpleasant tweet he posted about actress Sunny Leone on Women's Day. After an activist filed a complaint against him, he apologized.

Tiger Shroff is currently shooting for an upcoming dance film, Munna Michael.
