Actress Sonali Kulkarni recently drew flak for her ‘Indian girls are lazy’ comment. The Dil Chahta Hai actress was speaking at a recent event when she said that girls look for well-to-do boyfriends or husbands to fulfill their needs instead of being passionate about their own careers. Social media personality and actress Urfi Javed was among the others who had slammed Sonali for her remark. The latter has now issued an apology.
Sonali Kulkarni issues apology
“I’m overwhelmed with the feedback I’m receiving. I would like to thank all of you, especially the entire press and media for the extremely mature conduct of connecting with me. Being a woman myself, my intention was not to hurt other women. In fact, I have extensively expressed myself time and again in support of us and what is it being a woman. I’m grateful to all of you for reaching out to me personally to appreciate or to criticize. Hope we will be able to have more open exchange of thoughts,” she wrote.
Sonali continued: “In my capacity I am trying to think, support and share warmth not only with women, but with the entire mankind. It will be only strengthening if we women with our vulnerabilities and wisdom shine through as fair and able beings. If we are inclusive and empathetic, we will be able to create a healthier, happier place to be.”
“Having said that, if unknowningly, I may have caused pain, I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart. I do not thrive upon headlines neither do I want to be the center of sensational situations. I’m a diehard optimist and I strongly believe that life indeed is beautiful. Thanks for your patience and support. I have learned a lot from this incident,” Sonali concluded.
Sonali Kulkarni on women who DIDN’T understand context
“But you were right! Women who haven’t understood the context probably are hurt but on an honest note, whatever you said was right. Also, it wasn’t about every woman, it was about a few women who genuinely want it easy,” she wrote in her caption.
