Renowned actor-composer Vijay Antony's recent speech during a film event courted controversy for hurting religious comments. He made some comments about Jesus Christ which hurt the sentiments of some christians. The Christian Association issued a statement condemning him.

Following this, Vijay Antony apologised to Christians in a press release on social media in which he stated that his answer to a reporter was misinterpreted and he has no intention of slandering Jesus or hurting religious sentiments. This is now going viral on social media. Here's a rough translation of his apology letter:

"Greetings to the dear members of the Christian Church Federation. I was saying in a press conference the other day that grape juice was not invented recently, it was in circulation two thousand years ago. It was used in Churches since the Jesus period.

I am saddened that some people are hurt because my answer to a journalist friend's question was misinterpreted. I didn't say anything wrong. Don't get it wrong either. I would never dream of misrepresenting Jesus, who shed his blood and died for the people and transcended religions."
