Later, Anurag Verma in the series of tweets apologies.
He tweeted an apology on Twitter stating “I have also used the “send nudes” term very loosely. For me, it was a meme back then, but I didn’t realise the damage I was doing by sending it to people.” These tweets were followed by a few more.
It is highly illogical to understand back then how the “send nudes” can be funny in any circumstances, how it can be a joke if you are targeting an individual and sending her/him personally.
Hello. My snapchats have been problematic. I have been problematic. The content that I thought was “funny” at the time was actually not. I’m sorry, I have made many of you uncomfortable with my crass photos and videos that I thought would pass as a humour.

I had posted a video where I pulled a packet of biscuits from my shorts and sent it to a ton of people on my snapchat. Which I now realise is not funny and very much crass. I didn’t send any unsolicited picture of genitals. I want to apologise for making people uncomfortable.
