Esha Gupta compares Nigerian footballer to a gorilla; apologises later

Bollywood actress Esha Gupta has finally apologised to Nigerian footballer Alexander Iwobi for making a racist remark against him on WhatsApp. Esha Gupta shared a snapshot of a WhatsApp conversation on the Instagram story to criticise Iwobi for his recent performance. In the conversation, Esha Gupta’s friend described Alexander Iwobi as “gorilla” and said that “evolution stopped for him”.

Responding to her friend’s racist remark, Esha Gupta wrote, “Haha… I don’t know why they don’t bench him more.” However, Esha’s reply did not go down well with some of her fans and they slammed her for “ignorance” and called her out for being racist despite having claimed that she herself has been a victim in the past.

Later, the actress went on to add, “Firstly, women should not compare themselves with men. We are the best in every respect. I don’t want anyone to feel bad, but why don’t you give birth to a child? We suffer from periods five days every month and even then we have to dance, go to an office and take care of the children. When you can do all this, you become superior.”
