India, Oct. 8 -- Thai actor Fourth Nattawat has apologised after a game-show segment in which he used exaggerated gestures to guess "Bollywood Hero" was criticised for relying on stereotypes of Indian culture. His co-star Gemini Norawit, who was seen laughing during the game, also faced backlash.

Fourth addressed the controversy on X on October 8, 2026. He said he has always supported equality and diversity and did not intend to mock any race. He maintained that the gestures were part of a game, but acknowledged that his actions had hurt people and specifically apologised to Indian fans. The incident took place during Fourth and Gemini's appearance on A Thai Late-Night Show, hosted by Katanyu Sawangsri.
