Who is Inaya Sultana? Director Ram Gopal Varma is making headlines once again, after an alleged video of him dancing with actor Inaya Sulatana at a birthday party went viral recently. In the video, Varma appeared to be dancing intimately with the actor. Since Sunday, the filmmaker's video has garnered negative comments for his "objectionable dance" with Sultana.
However, in a tweet shared along with the video, the director stated that he is not the man dancing in the video and the girl in the red dress is not Sultana.
The video in question allegedly shows the director celebrating Sultana's birthday and dancing to the song Hai Rama from his hit Bollywood movie Rangeela. Some parts of the video did not go down well with the netizens. Many slammed him for "groping" Sultana and felt that such videos show how the newcomers are treated by filmmakers in the film industry.
Here's what Ram Gopal Varma has to say about the video:
