Richa Chadha apologizes for ‘Galwan says hi’ tweet
ACTOR Richa Chadha has issued an apology statement on Twitter after being slammed on social media for posting a tweet on the 2020 Galwan clash, in which several Indian Army soldiers died.
Taking to Twitter, Richa wrote, ‘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. As a Lt. Col, he took a bullet in the leg in the Indo-China war, in the 1960s. My Mamaji was a paratrooper. It’s in my blood.’
She added, ‘A whole family is affected when their 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.’
On Wednesday (23), Richa had reacted to Northern Army Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi’s statement that the Indian Army is ready to execute orders like taking back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Sharing a post on the statement, Richa took to her Twitter handle and wrote, ‘Galwan says hi.’
