Ram Gopal Varma on coronavirus: When the nation is facing the novel coronavirus crisis, director Ram Gopal Varma can’t keep calm and posted a distasteful tweet about being tested positive as an April Fool’s Day prank.
Asking for an apology, Ram took to twitter and wrote: he was trying to lighten up the intense situation and the jest was on him, if anybody got offended with it, he apologies from all of them. Perhaps, the phrase correctly suits on him, no work only play is making the jack a dull boy!
When the whole nation has joined hands in the battle against COVID- 19, some are still not serious to understand the deadly situation which the world is facing right now, a social media user said. Talking to a news portal, Ram said, he knew that he would be badly trolled for his intentional tweet, also a complaint has been lodged against him for spreading false news, howbeit it was an April Fool joke.
