This comes after Naidu posted a picture of a wedding shoot featuring himself and a local model on his Instagram account, which he then captioned it: “Find yourself someone who looks at you the way I look at her (Like a molester who found his next victim),” he wrote.
The former Mr India South Africa winner, had taken to social media to apologise for his post saying it was “distasteful and offensive” asking for forgiveness from everyone for his error in judgement.
“To everyone affected and offended by my social media post directly or indirectly, I would like to issue a formal apology to all of you. My post was made in jest and unfortunately – it lacked sensitivity, was completely distasteful, and offensive.
