Nani Regrets Lashing Out At Arshad Warsi For His Comments On Prabhas
Nani has said that he regrets lashing out at Arshad Warsi following the latter’s remarks on Prabhas.
Days after lashing out at Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's comments about Prabhas' performance in Nag Ashwin's 'Kalki 2898 AD', Telugu star Nani has said that he is apologetic about his choice of words for Arshad Warsi. In the latest entertainment news, Nani said that his choice of words "was poor". He also went on to praise the Bollywood actor's performance in 'Munna Bhai MBBS'. For the unversed, when Nani was initially asked about Arshad Warsi's comments, the actor had implied that Arshad was getting the "most publicity" that he has ever received in his life.
"Definitely, my choice of words was also poor. The biggest thing that you can do is accept your regret. But what I am also saying is that it sounds so bad when it’s translated. In this situation, the journalist was constantly trying to bring that question everywhere, and I was trying to say that they are giving it too much importance," Mid-Day quoted Nani as saying.
"Sometimes, emotions are strong and you will react to something and you might feel, ‘It was unnecessary, why did I react?'” he added.
Nani also said that his words were misconstrued and his statement was lost in translation.
"I saw online when a language is translated into English, how it might sound. That always happens with social media," he said.
“I had only heard what he had commented because the cut clips were all over social media, like how mine was everywhere yesterday. See, it’s about a very dear person. When it’s about a person you really love, you immediately react and say, ‘Why are you giving so much importance to an unimportant matter?’ But after seeing a lot of reactions on social media, I went back and watched the whole thing in entirety. So, now I understand it. The whole thing has been blown out of proportion through media and social media. And even my reaction has been blown out of proportion," he added.
Speaking further about Arshad Warsi, Nani said, "Arshad Warsi ji is a very good actor and we all loved him in Munna Bhai, not just north or south, but the whole of India. It’s a household movie. When we sit with our friends in our homes, we can rip films and actors apart. But being actors, we need to be extra careful with our choice of words. So, in that way, him and me, both are victims."
Earlier, Arshad Warsi had spoken about how he felt disappointed after watching 'Kalki 2898 AD', which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani.
During a recent interview with Samish Bhatia on his show 'Unfiltered', Arshad Warsi said, "Maine Kalki dekhi, mujhe toh nhi acchi lagi. Mujhe bahut takleef hoti hai jab. Amit ji was unbelievable. I can’t understand that man. I swear if we got the power he has, life ban jaae. He’s unreal."
However, criticising Prabhas, Arshad said, "Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he… he was like a joker. Why? I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. Tumne usko kya bana dia yaar. Kyu karte ho aisa? Mujhe nahin samajh mein aata."
