Richa Chadha hit the headlines recently for her controversial tweet today.
She tweeted ‘Galwan says hi’ in reaction to Northern Army Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi’s comment that the Indian Army was ready to take Pakistan-occupied Kashmir back.
Netizens were outraged as they believed she was mocking the Indian Army and the sacrifice of the 20 soldiers who were killed in the 2020 Galwan skirmish between India and China.
Richa Chadha Aplogises For Galwan Tweet –
Later in the day, the actress took to her social media to apologise for hurting people’s sentiments. Check out her tweet –
“Even though it can never be my intention in the least, if the 3 words which are being dragged into a controversy have offended or hurt anyone, I apologise and also say that it would sadden me if even unintentionally my words have triggered this feeling in my brothers in the fauj (army) of which my own Nanaji has been an illustrious part.
My Mamaji was a paratrooper. It’s in my blood. A whole family is affected when a son is martyred or even injured while saving the nation which is made up of people like us and I personally know how it feels. It is an emotive issue for me,” said Richa’s tweet.
