Dulquer Salman felt sorry and asked apology for unknowingly body shaming a woman in his recent film “Varane Avashyamund” which was produced by his home banner Wayfarer films. Named as Chetna Kapoor, the twitter user expressed her disappointment over the makers of the movie using her pictures without her concern.

The film which completed its theatrical run, released in Netflix yesterday. On seeing her picture used randomly in a banner, Chetna thanked Dulquer for featuring her in his film but asked him to excuse her from body-shaming in a public forum. She said that the picture was used without her consent and added that she would like to claim ownership of the same.

Followed by the first tweet, Chetna demanded a public apology from Dulquar Salman in her second tweet. She said that she would have promoted the movie if she was informed prior regarding the usage of her pictures. “Thank you for the feature in your film but I’d like you to excuse me from body-shaming on a public forum. The concerned image was used without my consent & knowledge in your film. I’d like to claim ownership of the same. While the legal suites would follow, how about a public apology for now? You have not used it once but twice in your film. If only I knew one of my many achievements would be a part of a Dulquer Salman movie, I would have helped them promote the movie even more!” Chetna’s series of tweets read.

To this tweet of Dulquer, Chetna replied by asking him to delete or blur the scene while investigating the matter.

I appreciate your prompt reply. While you take your time to investigate the matter, it would be ideal that either the scenes are deleted with my pictures in it or the images are blurred effective immediately. @NetflixIndia #VaraneAvashyamund
