Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Given A Thumbs Down By Alia and Sonam

When a student at JNU asked Ravi Shankar as to how he should deal with ill-treatment by his family and friends over his sexual orientation, this is what Ravi Shankar replied:

“You treat yourself better, doesn’t matter how others treat you. You don’t think you are sick or something’s wrong with you. If you stand up, nobody can insult you… But if you feel weak and meek, and if you feel bad about yourself, nobody can make you feel better. This is your tendency now. Just acknowledge it and accept it, and know that this tendency is not a permanent thing. It may change. I’ve seen many men who were gay, later on, turn into heterosexuals, and there are those who are normal — what is called straight people — end up being gay later in life,”

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's controversial statement on homosexuality didn't go down well with many Bollywood stars. Sonam Kapoor and Alia Bhatt slammed him for his remarks. Sonam Tweeted,

"👎🙈🙈🙈🙈👎👎👎 get with the program!!! "

Alia Bhatt called it an OMG moment and Tweeted.

"OMG kinda moment!"
