Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon apologises to people on Twitter, reacts on case filed against her

Ajnala: Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon took to Twitter to react over a case filed against her in a comedy show where the word "Hallelujah" was allegedly interpreted as "hurting religious sentiments". The actress has cleared her stance on the issue by urging people to watch the concerned portion and asserting that no insult to any religion was intended during the show.

The Bollywood actress’s reaction came after a police complaint was filed in Punjab over the usage of the word "Hallelujah" during a show where she made an appearance.

The actress cleared the air by sharing the original clip of the television show on Twitter and said, "Please do watch this link. I haven't said a word that can be interpreted as an insult to any religion. The three of us (Farah Khan, Bharti Singh and I) never intended to offend anyone, but in case we did, my most sincere apologies to those who were hurt."

Earlier, a complaint was filed against Raveena Tandon along with director Farah Khan by the Punjab Police for "hurting religious sentiments".
