'Hurts to see this': Akshay Kumar on Richa Chadha's 'Galwan' tweet

| @indiablooms | Nov 25, 2022, at 04:41 pm

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has slammed his colleague Richa Chadha's sarcastic tweet on Galwan valley involving the Indian Army that has triggered a row.

Akshay tweeted on Friday, "Hurts to see this. Nothing ever should make us ungrateful towards our armed forces. Woh hain toh aaj hum hain."

Richa was heavily criticised after she tweeted "Galwan says hi' in response to the Indian Army's statement that it was ready to take back the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir if the government gives order.

Slamming the actor, ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, "Disgraceful tweet. Should be withdrawn at the earliest. Insulting our armed forces is not justified."

Facing the flak, Richa deleted her tweet and issued an apology, reminding the critics of her family's connection with the Indian Army.

She wrote in a long statement, "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 of which my own Nanaji has been an illustrious part."
