For all those wondering where Homi Adjania had disappeared after releasing the now controversial My Choice video starring Deepika Padukone, here's the answer. The director was in Andamans cut off from the online world. On his return, Homi took to Facebook to pen down his thoughts on the criticism that the women empowerment video gathered from many sections of the society.

Here is what he wrote:

Hey all! I've just returned from a diving assignment in the South Andamans and had no network till now and hence the online silence. Owing to such a overwhelming mix of reactions, I want to restate that our film?#?MyChoice is a reminder that all women's choices, however unconventional anyone can imagine, are their own. The intention of the film does not in any way advocate or promote the actions in the words and we all have to make choices in life after considering the consequences.

It's a two-&-a-half minute clip that obviously can't cover such a complex issue and is simply a form of expression to underline the fact that a woman's choice, in no uncertain terms, belongs to her and no one else. For those who got this and still didn't agree with the film that is their choice and I totally respect that. For those who felt the message was unclear and are upset in anyway, I promise that was never my intention. For those who think it is sexist or male-bashing, it is talking to a man with a caged-mind and NOT to liberated people out there who treat women with respect and equality. And for those who got it and supported it... Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ironically, the misunderstanding is what made #MyChoice go explosively viral and if that’s what it takes to get people discussing gender equality then I am willing to take the hit and be misunderstood. More power to women and let's hope that a healthy discussion on gender equality continues. One love."
