Sibaji apologises for sexist comments

The actor clarified that he didn't mean to "insult or humiliate anyone" by his statement. He also mentioned he meant to emphasise how female actors can avoid problems by being careful about their clothing. He said, "These days, heroines have faced difficult situations. While trying to say a few good words, I ended up using a few unparliamentary words. I was not referring to all women. What I meant was that when heroines go out, if they are careful about the clothes they wear, maybe such problems wouldn’t arise. It was not said with the intention of insulting or humiliating anyone," he said in Telugu in a post on X (formerly Twitter) captioned "I sincerely apologise for my words during the Dhandoraa pre-release event last night."
