Pandya’s apology comes days after the episode featuring him and KL Rahul on ‘Koffee with Karan’ caught everyone’s attention for Pandya’s outrageous statements about women and his sexual activities.
Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya issued an apology on Wednesday after his appearance on the latest episode of Koffee with Karan drew criticism from every quarter for his ‘misogynist’, ‘sexist’, and ‘racist’ remarks.
Taking to Twitter, Pandya admitted that he ‘got a bit carried away with the nature of the show’ and he meant no disrespect to anyone.
“After reflecting on my comments on Koffee with Karan, I would like to apologise to everyone concerned who I may have hurt in any way. Honestly, I got a bit carried away with the nature of the show. In no way did I mean to disrespect or hurt anyone’s sentiments. Respect,” Pandya wrote on his Twitter page.

This low level of discourse in a equally low level show. Probably, this is why KL Rahul has lost his way and may never play for tests for India again and same may happen to Hardik. How can such low level of discourse acceptable:https://t.co/2sgAtXixwv
