Television actress Shweta Tiwari on Friday broke her silence and issue an apology over her 'God is taking my bra size' remarks which created a huge stir on social media. During a press conference on Friday, Shweta Tiwari stated that her statement was taken out of context, and by saying God she was referring to her co-actor Sourabh Jain who had played the character of Lord Krishna in his previous assignment Mahabharat. In her detailed statement, Shweta also portrayed herself as 'staunch believer of Bhagwan' and expressed her sorrow that her comment was taken out of context.
Shweta said, "It has come to my notice that a certain statement of mine referring to a colleague’s previous role has been taken out of context and has been misconstrued. When put in context, one will understand that the statement in reference to ‘Bhagwan’ was in context with Sourabh Raj Jain’s popular role of a deity. People associate character names to actors and hence, I used that as an example during my conversation with media."
"However, it has been completely misconstrued which is saddening to see. As someone who has been a staunch believer of ‘Bhagwan’ myself, there is no way that I would intentionally or unintentionally say or do any such thing that would hurt sentiments by and large. I have, however, come to understand that when taken out of context, it has unintentionally hurt feelings of people. Please be assured that it has never been my intention to hurt anyone, with my words or actions. Hence, I would like to humbly apologise for the hurt that my the statement has unintentionally caused to a lot of people," Shweta added.
It is pertinent to mention here that Shweta Tiwari's apology comes after an FIR has been filed against her by the police at the Shyamla Hills police station in Bhopal. The case has been registered under Section 295 A of the Indian Penal Code for hurting religious sentiments. Even Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra ordered a probe against Shweta Tiwari over her controversial remarks.
