Urvashi Rautela says Sonali Kulkarni’s ‘women are lazy’ remark does not apply to her

At a recent event, Urvashi said, ‘See, the thing is, this doesn’t apply to me because everybody knows I am an outsider. And everybody knows how hardworking I am. I have made a career in Bollywood. Globally, fans know me. I am the only Indian girl to win Miss Universe India twice. I am the youngest judge in history to just Miss Universe. So this doesn’t apply to me. This quote applies to all the velli (jobless) girls out there.’

Sonali’s statement ‘Bharat main bahut saari ladkiyaan alsi hain (A lot of women in India are lazy)’ at an event had received a lot of criticism, and the ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ actor later issued an apology. She said that she doesn’t want to be at the ‘centre of sensational situations.’

‘Being a woman myself, my intention was not to hurt other women. In fact, I have extensively expressed myself time and again in support of us and what is it being a woman. I’m grateful to all of you for reaching out to me personally to appreciate or to criticize. Hope we will be able to have more open exchange of thoughts,’ read a part of her apology.
