Vivek Agnihotri responded to a report on social media users calling out his "double standard" after he praised Deepika Padukone for being selected as Oscars presenter.
"In a new world 'criticising someone when you disagree and appreciating when you like their act' is called double standard...I thought it's...'fairness'," he wrote.
Vivek had earlier tweeted against Deepika's song 'Besharam Rang'.
