Recently, actor and BJP MP Paresh Rawal gave birth to a new controversy after his ‘raja-vaja-vandra’ remark. For the uninitiated, the actor-turned-politician made a derogatory remark against the Royals during an election campaign in Rajkot. Since he, while remembering Sardar Patel, had compared the royals (raja) and music (vaja) to monkeys (vandra), the comment did not go down well with the Rajput community, Paresh Rawal later apologised for his alleged derogatory remark, which hurt the sentiments of the said community. He said that his remark was not directed towards the community.
Clarifying the misunderstanding with regards to ‘raja-vaja-vandra’ remark, the veteran actor, who represents the Ahmedabad East seat in the Lok Sabha, said that his comment was aimed at the “Nizam of Hyderabad.’ He further added, ‘If anyone was hurt by the statement I would like to apologise for it,’ he added.

Soon after Paresh Rawal’s derogatory comment, the Karni Sena, which has been spearheading nationwide protests against ‘Padmavati’, warned Paresh Rawal over his statement. However, he has apologised for his alleged derogatory remark against royals after the Rajput community took it to heart. ‘My statement was not on the Rajput community. They are a splendour community in India and they make us proud. Nothing wrong will come out of my mouth against such a brave community,’ Rawal told the media.
