'I have been misrepresented': Neha Dhupia addresses 'Roadies Revolution' controversy, writes note clarifying her standAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Actor Neha Dhupia was in the news all of last week after the social media storm raging against her when she commented on cheating in a relationship on her reality show, Roadies Revolution. Neha posted a long note on Twitter which said that her family and friends are being harassed and abused due to it.
For the uninformed, Neha had reportedly scolded a contestant for saying that he hit his girlfriend after he found out that she was cheating on him. The host and actress had said that it’s a woman’s choice if she wants to be in a relationship with five boys at a time but hitting her is not the right thing to do.
Since then, Twitter and Instagram have been flooded with memes and abuses targeted towards Neha, calling her a hypocrite. Answering to the abuses, Neha wrote, "Roadies is a show that I have been a part of for five years and enjoyed every bit of it. It takes me all over India and gives me the opportunity to team up with absolute rock stars from all parts of the country. What I do not like or accept is what is happening for more than two weeks now! Recently during one of the episodes that aired, I took a stand against violence. A guy talked about his partner who cheated on him (allegedly) and in retaliation, he hit her by his own admission. What the girl did is a choice she made which is a moral choice regardless of someone, man or woman... adultery is a moral choice. Cheating is not something I stand for, and it is unfortunate that I have been misrepresented for the same... but what I do stand for is women’s safety," she wrote.
Actor Taapsee Pannu also showed her support along with husband Angad Bedi and filmmaker Karan Johar.
