I do not speak with the intention of hurting anyone. I’m just talking about the hate and toxicity we see on social media. I’m not going to take back what I said because that’s the point I wanted to make.His clarification came after a section of Vijay’s fans questioned the way he spoke to the two stars during the interview.
