Past controversies of RGV:

On March 8, 2017, RGV took to Twitter to express his views on Women’s Day and one of his most contentious tweets read: “I wish all the women in the world give men as much happiness as Sunny Leone gives.”
This remark was widely criticized for objectifying women and dismiss the significance of the day dedicated to honoring women’s achievements and promoting gender equality, also

in another tweet, he questioned the necessity of Women’s Day by implying that men already celebrate women daily: “Women’s day should be called #MensDay because men celebrate women much more than women celebrate women.”
Such statements were seen as sabotaging the challenges women face and the ongoing struggle for equal rights.Thus, the backlash was swift and widespread.

Social media platforms buzzed with criticism, with many accusing RGV of implementing sexist stereotypes and failing to recognize the importance of advocating for women’s rights. Some called for apologies and others debated the broader implications of his comments on societal attitudes toward women.

This incident wasn’t an isolated one in RGV’s career but he also has a history of making provocative statements that challenge societal norms and often ignite debates. While some appreciate his candidness and willingness to defy conventions, others believe his remarks cross the line into insensitivity.
