5 celebrities who faced backlash over casteist and s*xist comments

Renowned filmmaker Anurag Kashyap found himself at the centre of controversy after making a casteist remark about the Brahmin community. The controversy began when Kashyap responded to a user’s comment with, “Brahmin pe main m**toonga… koi problem?” This statement was widely condemned as casteist and disrespectful, leading to public outrage and legal complaints filed in Mumbai and Jaipur

In a social media post dated April 22, 2025, Kashyap admitted to overstepping boundaries in a moment of anger. He stated, “I forgot my limits while replying to someone in anger. And I spoke badly about the entire Brahmin community… I apologise from the bottom of my heart to this community.” He further pledged to manage his anger and communicate more thoughtfully in the future.
