Nakuul Mehta shared actress
Sophia Bush’s tweet that wrote, “Violence isn’t ok. Assault is never the answer. Also? This is the 2nd time that Chris has made fun of Jada on the #Oscars stage, & tonight he went after her alopecia. Punching down at someone’s auto-immune disease is wrong. Doing so on purpose is cruel. They both need a breather.” Nakuul wrote, “This”.
The Hollywood star, who had smacked the comic after the latter made a joke about his actor-wife Jada Pinkett-Smith during the award ceremony on Sunday, posted a statement on Instagram and admitted that his behaviour on Sunday night was "unacceptable and inexcusable".
