After tweeting a controversial tweet over the 2020 Galwan clash Bollywood actor Richa Chadha issued an apology statement on social media on Thursday.
“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 apologize 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,” Richa tweeted.
Richa further 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.”

Earlier in the day Bollywood actor Richa Chadha has been trolled on social media for tweeting about the 2020 Galwan clash incident where several Indian Army soldiers died.
Reacting to Northern Army Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi’s statement to execute orders like taking back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) Richa wrote, “Galwan says hi.”
Meanwhile, after putting up the tweet social media users hell broke loose for insulting the army about the 2020 clash between India and China.
Taking to Twitter BJP’s Manjinder Singh Sirsa tweeted, “Disgraceful Tweet. Should be withdrawn at the earliest. Insulting our armed forces is not justified.”
Moreover, Lt General Upendra Dwivedi’s statement came concerning Defence Minister’s previous address in which he reiterated New Delhi’s resolve to take back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). He said all the refugees would get their land and homes back.
“As far as the Indian Army is concerned, it will carry out any order given by the Government of India. Whenever such orders are given, we will always be ready for it,” Lt General Upendra Dwivedi said.
Lt General Upendra Dwivedi on the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan said, “The military is always ready to make sure that ceasefire understanding is never broken as it is in the interest of both nations, but if broken at any time, we will give them a befitting reply.”
However, BJP leader and MLA from Maharasthra, Ram Kadam slammed Bollywood actor Richa Chadha over her tweet.
