The letter was published in a leading daily in which the actor stated that ‘nepotism rocks’ was supposed to be a joke and he doesn’t believe on it adding that people should not have taken it seriously. He thought that it might have hurt Kangana to so he called her personally to apologize.
The actor went on to say that these days apologies and birthdays wishes are given on social media and the reason he is not on it is that he finds it fake. Saif wrote that he will continue to say stupid things on stage in order to be funny. As he has apologized to Kangana, he wants issue to get over, India TV Reported.
