Make no mistake: this is uncalled-for. We know that Ram Gopal Verma (RGV) doesn’t weigh his words before uttering them, but this is downright condemnable.

The Indian filmmaker in one of his tweets has called actor Tiger Shroff ‘the greatest woman.’ To Tiger’s credit, he has been very composed and mature about the below-the-belt remark, saying RGV is a senior director who has been in the industry for years, and, it wouldn’t be right if he [Tiger] speaks his heart out.

Well done, young man. You are manlier then those who show their manliness from behind the veil of social media.
