Pandya and Rahul made sexist remarks against women on the show and now, Mumbai Police have come out with a unique way to school the public against doing the same. Their post read: “A ‘Gentleman’ is a Gentleman, always and everywhere.”

Meanwhile, the two cricketers have tendered “unconditional” apologies for their comments amid Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai saying that the BCCI should correct the two players, not end their careers.
