Ranbir Kapoor Apologises For His ‘Phailod’ Comment On Mom-To-Be Alia Bhatt; ‘I Have A Bad Sense Of Humour’

Ranbir
Kapoor
is
currently
busy
promoting
his
upcoming
film

Brahmastra
in
which
he
will
be
sharing
screen
space
with
his
wife
and
actress
Alia
Bhatt.
Recently,
the

Shamshera
actor
sparked
an
outrage
on
social
media
when
he
passed
an
‘insensitive’
comment
on
Alia’s
pregnancy
weight
gain.

During
a
live
session
with
fans
on
YouTube
after
launching
the
teaser
of
one
of
the
songs
from
the
film,
Dance
Ka
Bhoot,
a
netizen
asked
Ranbir
and
Alia
why
they
ain’t
promoting
Brahmastra
aggressively.

While
Alia
was
offering
her
explanation
on
the
same,
Ranbir
interrupted
her
and
pointing
at
her
baby
bump
said,
“Well
I
can
say
somebody
has
‘phailod’.” The
video
went
viral
on
social
media
in
no
time
and
fans
bashed
the

Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani
actor
for
allegedly
‘fat-shaming’
his
pregnant
wife.

Now,
Ranbir
has
finally
reacted
to
the
backlash
over
his
comment
during
the
press
meet
for

Brahmastra
in
Chennai
where
he
was
accompanied
by
ace
filmmaker
SS
Rajamouli
and
Nagarjuna
Akkineni
who
plays
a
pivotal
role
in

Brahmastra.

The
actor
apologised
for
his
comment
on
Alia
and
said
that
his
remark
was
a
joke
which
didn’t
turn
out
to
be
funny.
He
further
blamed
the
fiasco
on
his
‘bad
sense
of
humour.’

According
to
a
report
in
Pinkvilla,
Ranbir
said,
“Firstly,
I
love
my
wife
with
everything
I
have
in
my
life.
It’s
a
joke
that
didn’t
turn
out
to
be
funny
and
I
really
want
to
apologise
to
anyone
if
I
have
triggered
anyone.”

He
continued,
“It
wasn’t
my
intention.
So,
I
say
sorry
to
anyone
who
got
triggered
or
offended
I
spoke
to
Alia
about
it,
she
laughed
it
off
and
she
did
not
mind.
I
do
have
a
bad
sense
of
humour
and
that
sometimes
falls
flat
on
my
face
sometimes.
I
am
sorry
if
I
have
hurt
anyone.”

With
respect
to
films,
Ranbir
Kapoor
was
last
seen
in
Karan
Malhotra’s
period
action
adventure

Shamshera
which
was
a
box
office
disaster.
His
next
release
is
Ayan
Mukerji’s

Brahmastra
which
features
him
alongside
Alia
Bhatt
and
Amitabh
Bachchan.
