Following this, without taking names, Vir expressed his disappointment with a sarcastic solution on Twitter on 10 June. He posted: “Idea: In the future, Indian content should have advance apologies from artistes. Apologise first, make the content you want. Like a prepaid phone plan for sensitive people.”
