¡°This man needs a lesson or two! @TwitterIndia, why does this person's account still exist? ¡taking it up with Concerned police,¡± Sharma posted.
Actor Siddharth, who has consistently landed in trouble for his tweets, defended himself and wrote:
"COCK & BULL"

That's the reference. Reading otherwise is unfair and leading!
Nothing disrespectful was intended, said or insinuated. Period. ??
¡°COCK & BULL. That's the reference. Reading otherwise is unfair and leading! Nothing disrespectful was intended, said, or insinuated. Period."
Siddharth had reacted to Nehwal's reaction on the January 5 lapse in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security in Punjab.
Subtle cock champion of the world... Thank God we have protectors of India. ??

Shame on you #Rihanna https://t.co/FpIJjl1Gxz
Siddharth had written,
Twitter
¡°Subtle c**k champion of the world¡Thank God we have protectors of India. Shame on you, #Rihanna.¡±
The actor's tweet hinted at popstar Rihanna and her tweet from February over 'suspended' farmers' protests last year. She had written, ¡°Why aren't we talking about this?¡±
Responding to Siddharth and the controversy, Nehwal said he could have chosen better words to express himself.
Twitter
Saina's father, Harvir Singh Nehwal (Saina's father), spoke to Times now and slammed him. He was quoted as saying,
Instagram
¡°I felt very bad when he used such words for my daughter. What has he done for the country? She has won medals, brought laurels for India. I¡¯ve always believed India is a great society, and Saina has the support of journalists and sporting fraternity because they know how much struggle a sportsperson goes through."
Siddharth's clarification hasn't salvaged the situation as people on Twitter are still outraging against the actor and his 'language.'
