Annu Kapoor Addresses Tamannaah Bhatia ‘Milky Body’ Remark Row
What Did Annu Kapoor Say On Controversy Around His ‘Milky Body’ Remark?
Annu Kapoor And Tamannaah Bhatia
In response to the uproar, Annu Kapoor contended that the controversy stemmed more from language than from his actual intent. He noted that if he had used the same description in English, the reaction would likely have been much less intense. He suggested that the Hindi phrasing elicited a stronger response. “If I had said ‘milky body’ in English, there wouldn’t have been an issue. But saying it in Hindi became a problem,” he remarked.
The actor also emphasized the distinction between admiration and desire, asserting that recognizing someone’s appearance does not imply any inappropriate intentions. He likened it to appreciating something beautiful without the urge to possess it.
Regarding accountability, Annu Kapoor expressed his readiness to apologize. He mentioned that if Tamannaah were to approach him directly, he would acknowledge his comment. He further stated that if she felt hurt by it, he would be willing to show a gesture of respect as an apology. “If a 71-year-old man touches her feet, what will she say?” he remarked during an interview with Siddharth Kannan.
What Was Annu Kapoor’s Actual Comment And How Did It Create Controversy?
The controversy ignited when Annu Kapoor appeared on YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, where the discussion shifted to popular contemporary songs. When the host inquired if he was a fan of Tamannaah Bhatia, Annu Kapoor replied with “Mashallah kya dudhiya badan hai.”
The host then referenced Tamannaah’s own statement that the song Aaj Ki Raat had gained popularity for helping children sleep, to which Annu Kapoor humorously responded by questioning what age of ‘children’ she was referring to.
