Actress Richa Chadha has rolled out a public apology after deleting a controversial Twitter post because of which the actress is facing a huge backlash.
It all started when the actress posted a ‘Galwan says hi’ tweet. She was accused of being anti-national as it appeared to deride a top army commander’s statement on taking Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) back with a reference to the 2020 Galwan clash with Chinese troops.
The actress took to social media and posted, “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.”

Earlier, the actor had earlier controversially posted on Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi’s statement that the army is “always ready” for any order from the government on taking back parts of Kashmir illegally occupied by Pakistan and “would give them a befitting reply”.
Sharing the commander’s statement, Richa Chadha wrote on Twitter, “Galwan says hi.” The post went viral with many calling it “shameful and disgraceful”. After the fiasco, the actress has been trending on social media. Let’s have a look:

20 Indian brave-hearts sacrificed their life for India in Galwan, but here is an Urduwood actor mocking Indian Army.
Not only sad but shameful.
A new low from @RichaChadha ! pic.twitter.com/XAwzdPFvEG— Shashank Shekhar Jha (@shashank_ssj) November 23, 2022
Richa Chadha is being bashed for criticising our soldiers because of her inter-religion marriage.
This is absolutely wrong.
She didn’t need to marry to turn into a thankless wretch. She always was one.

The only difference between Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha is that Ali Fazal is loyal for his religion.

“Galwan says hi” writes Richa Chadha in response to a statement by a commanding officer on POK. Disrespecting those who gave their lives for India. Mocking the Indian army. She proves once again there is no limit to how low this industry can sink. A boycott is all they are worth.

Ali Fazal had protested against CAA & defamed India on foreign soil
He even lied that Musl*ms are not safe in India
Now his wife Richa Chadha makes derogatory comments against the Indian Army
What a ‘secular’ husband & wife

Why do we have such illiterate people like Richa Chadha in Bollywood?
