Ram Gopal Varma’s Controversial Remark on Kiara Advani Sparks Outrage

The Incident

The furor broke out after the teaser of War 2 was launched with Kiara Advani appearing in a bikini, half-clad scene. Although people appreciated her in the movie, Ram Gopal Varma went on social media and made a remark that people called misogynistic and out of place. His comment was that the true "war" in the movie would be of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR fighting over Kiara, not what the movie really was about.

The post became viral in no time, and users reacted with their revulsion and outrage. Several people condemned Varma for objectifying women and branded his statement as cheap and disgusting. After the furore, the director removed the post, but its screenshots kept appearing online.


Public Reaction

Social media sites, such as Reddit and X, were filled with comments criticizing Varma's comment. Users called him a "creepazoid", questioning his motives and intentions. Others criticized that this was not the first time Varma had made salacious comments about women, citing his previous statements and interviews.

One viewer posted, "And this is what he's saying in public… Imagine how he must be in private." Another said, "He lost it years ago." Such was the outrage that Varma was forced to delete the post, although the damage had already been inflicted. 


Kiara Advani's Response

In spite of the outrage, Kiara Advani has stayed committed to her profession. She went to social media to share how thrilled she was with War 2, enumerating the film's numerous firsts for herself, such as her first action movie and first project with Ayan Mukerji. She avoided mentioning Varma's comment directly, but her professionalism and class in dealing with it were much admired.


Final Thoughts

Ram Gopal Varma's disrespectful comment has again brought to focus the long-standing problem of sexism in the entertainment world. Although Bollywood has improved in projecting powerful female protagonists, such incidents are a reminder of the uphill task that actresses have to face.


The outrage over Varma's remark is a sign of increased intolerance for misogyny, and it demonstrates that the audience will no longer tolerate objectification and disrespect towards women on the big screen. While War 2 is set to release on August 14, 2025, attention must be kept on the action-oriented plot of the film instead of undeserved controversies.

The astronauts first flew to the ISS on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft but got to stay for an unplanned longer mission as the Starliner experienced technical issues during its return journey. The recent postponement was due to a hydraulic system malfunction in a ground support clamp arm of the Falcon 9 rocket at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The mechanical failure made NASA and SpaceX postpone the flight just hours before launch, a reminder of the int...
