Indian Idol 12 host Aditya Narayan has issued apology on his social media page for allegedly hurting sentiments of people after he seemingly made remarks showing Alibaug in a bad light. Recently, Raj Thackeray’s party- Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) had accused him of making a poor remark about Maharashtra’s Alibaug area on the reality show.
MNS Chitrapat Sena chief Ameya Khopkar accused the makers of the singing reality show of showing Alibaug in a poor light and demanded an apology.
Aditya Narayan took to his Instagram story and posted a note on social media and also shared a video apoligising for his comments.
“With a humble heart and folded hands 🙏🏼 I want to apologise to the people of Alibaug and everyone who has been hurt by my sentence on a recent episode of Indian Idol that I’m currently hosting. The intention was never to hurt anyone. I have immense love and respect for Alibaug. My own sentiments are connected with the place, it’s people and this soil.”
Earlier on Monday, MNS accused the makers of the show of showing 'Alibaug' in a poor light and demanded an apology for the same, failing to which the party even warned the makers of action against the show.
For the uninitiated, during the recent episode, Indian Idol host Aditya Narayan was seen asking contestant Sawai Bhatt if he thinks they have come from Alibaug.
MNS Chitrapat Sena chief Amey Khopkar stated that he used the line, which is a part of a street lingo & is used to poke fun at people of Alibaug as small town simpletons.
