Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul appeared on the Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan 6 last week. The Indian all-rounder in a bid to act cool crossed the line and landed in hot waters for his misogynistic comments. Pandya opened up about his partying habits where he boasted about things like not asking the names of women at parties and watching them move on the dance among others. This surely did not go down well with the netizens and they took to social media to slam the cricketer for the same. However, Pandya this morning took to Twitter and apologised for his comment.

Honestly, I got a bit carried away with the nature of the show. In no way did I mean to disrespect or hurt anyone's sentiments. Respect," Pandya posted on Twitter.
