After much unrest amongst the common masses, especiall on social media, Sunny Leone has finally opened up on Ram Gopal Varma's sexist tweet on International Women's Day. The actress took to her Twitter account and posted a video message, choosing very few words to express what she feels.
She captioned the video writing, "Change only happens when we have one voice, so let's choose your words wisely! Peace and love!!" In the video, Sunny is heard saying, "Hey everyone! I read all the news today and I believe that change only happens when we have one voice, so choose your words wisely."

For those uninitiated, the entire fiasco started when filmmaker, Ram Gopal Varma posted a nasty message on Women's Day, writing, "I wish all the women in the world give men as much happiness as Sunny Leone gives". Post his tweet, the Twitterati slammed him and started trolling him on the social networking site.
The matter escalated further when an activist from Goa filed a complaint against RGV, asking his Twitter account to be blocked. However, the filmmaker later on posted an apology, along with his conditions.ie., only for "those who genuinely got offended and not to those who ranted for publicity nd threatened to take law into their hands."
Was just expressing my feelings but I apologise to all who were offended due to my unintended insensitive tweets in context of women's day
