Popular television star Shweta Tiwari is in trouble after she quoted controversy for the “meri bra ka size bhagwan le rahe hain” comment during the promotions of her new streaming show, where she was present along with co-stars Rohit Roy, Digangana Suryavanshi and Sourabh Raaj Jain. Jain reportedly plays the character of a bra-fitter in the show. He has previously played Lord Krishna in a few popular mythological shows.

Tiwari has now issued a statement apologised for hurting sentiments, after a case was registered in Madhya Pradesh against her for the remark. She, however, maintained that her statement was taken out of context and has been misconstrued.

“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 the media,” she said in her statement.

The statement further read, “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 the statement has unintentionally caused to a lot of people.”
