Vivek Oberoi slammed for 'disrespectful' tweet, Maharashtra women wing demands action

The Maharashtra State Women's Commission (MSWC) has found Vivek Anand Oberoi's tweet on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as "disrespectful" and demands action against the actor. Many Bollywood celebs including Sonam Kapoor and Madhur Bhandarkar has also condemned Vivek's post.

New Delhi: Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi brewed huge controversy on Monday after he tweeted a meme referring to his ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai and her relationships.

While the whole nation is looking forward to the final verdict of 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Vivek decided to take a dig at the exit polls with a tasteless joke.

Earlier today, Vivek tweeted a collage of three images featuring him, Aishwarya, Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya's seven-year-old daughter Aaradhya.

The post referred to Salman and Aishwarya's relationship as the 'opinion poll', Vivek and Aishwarya's affair as the 'exit poll' and her current family with husband Abhishek and daughter Aaradhya as the 'final result.'

While the actor might have posted the tweet thinking it is funny, the Twitterverse did not share the same feeling. Many called him out for posting the bizarre tweet.

As social media went into a frenzy, Nationalist Congress Party women wing chief Chitra Wagh and others demanded stringent action against Vivek for the meme.

"He has insulted the dignity of Aishwarya Bachchan. The MSWC must lodge a complaint against Oberoi and he should be arrested for crossing his limits of decency towards women," Wagh said.

Celebrities Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Jwala Gutta and Madhur Bhandarkar slammed Vivek's tweet too.

On the work front, Vivek is currently awaiting the release of his film, 'PM Narendra Modi', a biopic on the life of India's Prime Minister. After many delays, the biopic is finally set to release on May 24.

Earlier today, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari unveiled a new poster of PM Narendra Modi featuring the latest release date.
