Sidharth APOLOGIZES on Twitter after receiving backlash for disrespecting Bhojpuri language

Sidharth Malhotra is currently on his toes promoting his upcoming film ‘Aiyaary’ along with his co-star Manoj Bajpayee. They made an appearance on Salman Khan’s show ‘Bigg Boss 11’ and had a gala time there. It was here when Salman gave them a task to narrate one of his dialogues in Bhojpuri language. Manoj translated the dialogue while Sidharth had to ape it. Just in the moment of fun, Sidharth stated that he got a latrine kind of a feeling with all the Bhojpuri dialogues. Well, this did not go down well with Neetu Chandra who slammed him on Twitter.

I recently tried speaking a new language while I was on a TV show. In the process if I inadvertently hurt anyone's feelings or sentiments, I apologise and assure you that no disrespect was meant in any way.
