Hardik Pandya and Elli Avram have BROKEN-UP!
Elli begins by saying - "Ok! so.. regarding this... like i said i just came back to India and i have been getting messages from journalists who have been asking me questions regarding this and i had no idea what they were talking about. But then i have seen certain footage and...[gestures with hands & takes a pause]..yeah! like how he has spoken and i just think it's very sad! I got a little bit surprised because that's not really the Hardik Pandya i personally once used to know! But yeah! i think it's great that people are reacting and putting their foot down on this kind of behavior because it's about time we all realize that this kind of mentality is not cool. Neither is it something to brag about."
Hardik was bragging about the women in his life by saying many objectionable things like.. “I like to watch and observe how they (women) move. I’m little from the black side so I need to see how they move"- talking about parties. He also said that when he lost his virginity, he bragged to his parents saying "aaj mai karke aaya!". He also narrates that when at a party, his parents would point at multiple women asking "tera wala kaun sa hai" and he would go "ye ye aur ye" as “I have something going on with each of them”. Talking about dating the same woman, Hardik and Rahul said "talent pe depend karta hai".
After show's telecast, the Kwk episode snippets, videos and picture-memes carrying Hardik and Rahul's objectionable comments were flooding the social media sites in the following days. The fans were lashing out at him.
Elli added further: "I mean we are living in 2019 and women are now having a voice, they speak up for themselves and they are not tolerating to be disrespected or looked upon as an object. So yeah! that's what i believe and i think it's great.
She also spoke on their suspension and finds it right to happen.
Elli said: "On terms of what is happening from what i read..they are getting suspended right? I mean i just feel when you get an opportunity to represent your country, it's a really big privilege to get that and it shouldn't be taken lightly! I believe because by the end of the day the youth that is our next generation are actually..they are watching and learning from their idols. So.. that's all i have to say on this!"
