Actor Sivaji is currently on the receiving end after a video of him moral-policing women who wear short clothes went viral. Now, Ram Gopal Varma has taken to his X account to slam Sivaji for his remarks
and stated that if the women of his house can bear a dirty man like him, he should moral police them.
Taking to X, RGV wrote, “I don’t know that fellow’s full name, and hence I am commenting here… Hey Shivaji, whatever you are, if the women in your home are willing to bear an uncouth, dirty guy like you, you are welcome to moral police them.”

“With regard to the other women in society or the film industry or wherever, you can put your opinions in where they belong,” he added.
Earlier, actor Manoj Manchu too slammed Sivaji and wrote, “This kind of statement is deeply disappointing. Policing women’s clothing or placing moral responsibility on them is outdated and unacceptable. Respect and accountability should start with individual behavior, not by shaming women for how they dress. Public figures must speak responsibly, especially when their words influence society.”
“Comments like these violate the spirit of Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the Constitution of India. Equality, dignity, and personal liberty are non-negotiable. Women’s clothing is not up for public judgment. I unequivocally apologize on behalf of those senior actors whose derogatory remarks have demeaned women and reduced them to objects. Such words do not represent all men. We cannot, and will not, normalize or ignore this behavior. Women deserve respect, dignity, and equality at all times. Silence is not an option, and accountability is essential,” he added.
What did Sivaji say during the event?
During a promotional event for his upcoming film Dhandora, Sivaji, while appreciating anchor Sravanthi Chokkarapu’s saree, said, “I request all heroines not to wear revealing outfits. Please wear sarees or dresses that cover the body fully. Beauty lies in complete attire or a saree, not in displaying physical assets.”
“People may not openly say anything because they feel it is your freedom, but inside they may not like it. They feel like saying, ‘You wretched woman! Why are you wearing such awful clothes? Couldn’t you wear some decent clothes instead?’ A woman is like nature. When nature is beautiful, we respect it. A woman is like my mother, whom I hold close to my heart. Freedom is precious, don’t lose it. People will respect you based on your conduct. Glamour should have limits; it should not cross a certain line,” Sivaji added.
