Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who recently posted a “joke” wherein he said he had tested positive for coronavirus, has now claimed he did so because he was bored. Asked if he did not think about hurting sentiments, he said in an interview, “I [put out the tweet] because I was getting bored.”
Ram Gopal told Mid Day, “The only way to remain sane in such a [grim] situation is to joke about it, else we will get into depression. I knew I would get trolled for it. I believe a complaint has been filed against me for spreading false information. But it was meant as an April Fool joke, nothing else.”
Earlier this week, Ram Gopal Varma had tweeted, “My doctor just told me that I tested positive with Corona.” However, he soon followed it up with a clarification and said, “Sorry to disappoint, but now he tells me it’s a April Fool joke. it’s his fault and not mine. Anyway I am just trying to make light of a grim situation but the joke is on me and if I dint offend anyone I sincerely apologise to them.”
