Days after Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul stirred a controversy by making crass comments about women on Karan Johar's ‘Koffee With Karan’, Pandya's purported ex-girlfriend Elli Avram on Friday, 18 January, spoke on the row, saying "that's not really the Hardik I personally once knew!"

"I just came back to India and I have been getting messages from journalists asking me questions regarding this, and I had no idea what they were talking about. But then I saw certain footage and I just think it's very sad," an India Today report quoted Avram as saying.

Pandya and Avram had reportedly split for reasons not known.

"I was a bit surprised because that's not really the Hardik Pandya I personally once used to know! I think it's great that people are reacting and putting their foot down on this kind of behavior because it's about time we all realise that this kind of mentality is not cool. Neither is it something to brag about," Avram reportedly said.

Both Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul were handed a suspension and asked to return home from the three-ODI series against Australia.

The crass comments on Karan Johar’s show also invited widespread outrage on social media.

“...From what I read, they are getting suspended right? I mean I just feel when you get an opportunity to represent your country, it's a really big privilege to get that and it shouldn't be taken lightly... Because by the end of the day, the youth – that is our next generation – are actually watching and learning from their idols,” Avram further remarked.
