'I apologize, it was a mistake'

'Abhishek Banerjee's abuse made me angry. I and my bodyguard were also taunted. But it was not right for me to do such work as a public representative. I made a mistake.'

Kangana Ranaut on one side, Soham Chakraborty on the other. Both are currently in discussions due to the slapping incident. One slapped, the other killed. Two separate incidents though. But this time, MLA, actor Soham Chakraborty apologized for his actions.

After beating up the restaurant owner, the Tollywood actor apologized candidly. The actor went to shoot at a restaurant in Kolkata's New Town on Friday night. After an argument with the restaurant owner, Soham raised his hands on him.

The restaurant owner released a video of the incident. So that Soham can be seen behaving aggressively. However, while speaking to the media on Saturday afternoon, Soham defended himself and said that earlier, I and the workers of my production company were attacked. Unspeakable abuse was done, I could not keep my head straight at that time.

In the video, only he is seen getting angry, but that is not where the Sohme incident started. About half an hour to 45 minutes before this, he and his shooting team started arguing with the restaurant authorities. Soham said, they went to shoot with permission. Even 10 thousand rupees were given to the restaurant authorities.

Soham's production company alleged that the restaurant owner was sending a video of some moments of the shoot to someone. They also alleged that the workers of Soham's production company and his bodyguard were attacked.

It is known that Soham wanted to file a complaint at the police station that night. But the police did not file a written complaint as they promised to investigate the incident.

But Soham, now remorseful about the slapping, suffered a blow to his self-esteem as a human being. So it happened. Regret now.
