ARSENAL club ambbadador Esha Gupta apologized for sharing comments comparing Alex Iwobi to a gorilla.
The Bollywood star claimed not to have realized that it was racist, but angry fans called the Gunners to return her.
The 33-year-old woman shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation on her Instagram profile, which has 3.4 million followers.
In the picture, she received messages from Varun_Gupta17: "Fixes our fin problems … I can not see that gorilla facing Iwobi running back on the flank … he is so mean."
She replied, "Hahahahahaha, honestly, I do not know why they do not put him on the bench anymore."
Varun_Gupta17 then replied: "It's as if the evolution had stopped for him.That did not change Neanderthal man."

The 33-year-old then added, "Well, it was my fault, so I have to admit I'm sorry."

It was us who discussed our frustration during the match. Of concern, I realize it was racism. Mocked by the moment, it's the result of the match. The guys have been victims of racism myself before. But it's not something I'm proud of. It was a fault, sorry guys
