Ranbir apologises for Dussehra speech gaffe

Ranbir Kapoor apologised for his controversial remarks at a Dussehra celebration in Kolkata while addressing the audience at the musical event and full-album launch of his upcoming film Ramayana in Chennai on Wednesday. The Free Press Journal was present at the do.

The actor, who plays Lord Rama in the two-part epic, acknowledged that he had made a verbal error during his speech at the previous day’s celebration. He clarified what he had intended to say. “I want to apologise about an incident that happened yesterday while I was at a Dussehra event. I had a slip of the tongue. What I meant to say is burai chahe kitni bhi taqatwar kyun naa ho, aakhir mein jeet sacchai aur achchai ki hogi,” Ranbir said.

He then recalled working with music composer AR Rahman on Rockstar (2011), quoting a line from the film’s song to explain how his words had not come out as intended. “So this reminds me of a collaboration I had with AR Rahman sir in Rockstar. I want to say, ‘Jo bhi main kehna chahu, barbaad kare alfaz mere.’ So I truly apologise for that,” he added.

The event was held at the Chennai Trade Centre on Wednesday as part of the promotional campaign for Ramayana. It brought together the film’s cast and makers ahead of its theatrical release.
