The well-known actor Bujar Kapexhiu has returned to his statement that caused controversy a few months ago, during an interview on the show "Ndryshe" on TAR. He had said that women do not have the capacity to create barcaletas, a comment that was widely criticized on social media as offensive.
In an attempt to clarify his position, Kapexhiu emphasized the importance of humor as an art form that requires wisdom and originality. "Humor is the privilege of the wise. You can't be funny if you're not smart," he said, explaining that his earlier joke related to the perception that women often don't pay attention to humor.
He also invited women to be more involved in creating humor. "I urge them to write humor because they can do it in a very original and beautiful way,” Kapexhiu added.
However, the director made it clear that he does not regret what he initially said, but rather the misunderstanding that his statement caused. "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, not for what I said,” he concluded, leaving open the debate on this delicate topic.
