India cricketer Hardik Pandya Wednesday apologised after being slammed for making what many construed as misogynistic and sexist remarks on Koffee With Karan, saying he got “carried away by the nature” of the show.

The 25-year-old all-rounder has provoked a backlash after the comments he made on the celebrity chat show hosted by film maker Karan Johar, in which he appeared with India teammate K L Rahul.

Taking to Twitter, Pandya posted, “After reflecting on my comments on Koffee with Karan, I would like to apologise to everyone concerned who I may have hurt in any way.

“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.” —PTI
