Siddharth, acclaimed for his roles in films like ‘Rang De Basanti’, ‘Chithaa’, and ‘Boys’, took to social media to address the absence of women in the celebratory crowd following RCB’s victory at the Women’s Premier League 2024.
Check out his post here:

In his tweet, Siddharth, who is known for sharing his unfiltered views and thoughts on social media, observed the lack of women in the celebratory crowd.He captioned the video, “A team of women won a tournament but not a single woman on the street to celebrate. A quintessential moment of patriarchy in India (sic.)”

Many misinterpreted Siddharth’s point, questioning why men couldn’t celebrate a women’s win. However, Siddharth swiftly clarified, stating that his comments were misunderstood. He explained that he was highlighting the lack of safe spaces for women to join in celebrations. Siddharth clarified on social media, stating, “To clarify, the above tweet is about how public spaces in India are inaccessible for women, especially during the night time. The intent was to point out the irony in the inability of women to celebrate like men on the streets, even for an iconic instance of women’s achievement.”

Despite Siddharth’s clarification, some users continued to defend the actor, with one stating, “The fact that almost nobody in the replies really understood the point is telling lol.” Siddharth responded with a simple “smh” (shaking my head), expressing his frustration.
