Siddharth’s tweet to Saina Nehwal lands him in trouble, NCW seeks action against actor

National Commission for Women (NCW) has termed Siddharth's tweet as "misogynist and outrageous to the modesty of a woman”.

Chennai: Actor Siddharth's response to badminton player Saina Nehwal’s tweet about ‘security lapse’ faced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Punjab has landed him in trouble for its ‘sexual innuendo’. Condemning ‘Rang De Basanti’ actor’s remarks, the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Monday (January 10) sought "prompt and strict action" against him for using indecent language for women on social media.

In a statement issued by the NCW, which was shared by its chairperson Rekha Sharma on Twitter, the commission said that it had come across a post of actor Siddhart using lewd comments on Twitter on the post of Saina Nehwal.

Commenting on Narendra Modi’s ‘security breach’ in Punjab, Saina had tweeted, “No nation can claim itself to be safe if the security of its own PM gets compromised. I condemn, in the strongest words possible, the cowardly attack on PM Modi by anarchists. #BharatStandsWithModi #PMModi”.
