Vivek Agnihotri's clarification on beef eating statement

The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri is surrounded by controversies due to an old statement. In a video, Vivek was seen saying I used to eat beef and I eat beef. There were a lot of controversies and when the video went viral, there was a demand to boycott his film too. Now in the midst of controversies, Vivek has clarified that his statement has been tampered with and has been presented in a wrong way. At the same time, the director has also released a new video in which he is describing himself as a vegetarian.
Recently, during a conversation with Brute India, Vivek clarified, 'What has happened is that people do not understand things as context. There was a video clip, which is trending a lot these days. People have edited his sound. In that video I said, yes, I used to eat beef, but now I don't eat beef. They removed the word 'don't eat' from the video, so now it sounds like I used to eat beef and eat beef. As long as I am in the game, it doesn't matter to me.
Vivek further said, 'These are the people who do not like you. Those people are your opponents or want to humiliate you. I am saying from my heart that I have no problem with these people. I know the rules of the game I am playing. I know how much I can get hurt and I am not bothered about it. It is seen in the video that I am saying that I eat beef every day. If this was the case then today's beef in India would have ended.
Even though Vivek has been trolled for eating beef, he has now become a complete vegetarian. Recently by sharing a video on social media, Vivek has said, people take yoga classes, go to the gym and hire trainers. There is nothing right and wrong in the world. I am a vegetarian. I do creative work. I need plant-based carbs for my mind. If someone is working hard, then maybe non-vegetarian is better for him. You decide the diet with the purpose of your life, nothing is right or wrong in this whole world.
Vivek Agnihotri has started a new program, through which he will tell people how to lead a healthy life.
Before Vivek Agnihotri, Ranbir Kapoor has also been surrounded by controversies by confessing to eating beef. Years ago Ranbir had said in a food blogging video that he likes to eat beef. Before the release of the Brahmastra film, Ranbir's bad statement became very viral and there was a demand to boycott his film. However, this boycott did not affect the collection of the film.
