Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi courted controversy on Monday by tweeting a meme comparing exit polls results with the love life of his former paramour Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Vijaya Rahatkar, chairman of the state women's commission, said they had taken cognisance of Oberoi's tweet, and that they will send him a notice. "The tweet is distasteful and insulting to women. We are sending him a notice," Rahatkar said.
However, Oberoi himself stuck to his guns, saying he didn't do anything wrong, and that people featured in the meme don't have any objections. "Those who are in the meme have no objection, while politicians are trying to politicise the issue. They don't work on issues but start their politics on non-issues. There is a 'Didi' in West Bengal who puts people behind jail for a meme. Now, these people are demanding to put Vivek Oberoi behind bars," Oberoi
