Farah Khan And Raveena Tandon Apologise For Hurting Religious Sentiments

On Christmas 2019, the Punjab Police filed a complaint against Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon, filmmaker Farah Khan, comedienne Bharti Singh and three others, for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. The complaint was filed on the grounds that the three of them made objectionable comments in Farah's YouTube show Backbenchers, which hurt the Christian community in Punjab.

Raveena and Farah have both responded to this. They say that while it was not their intention to disrespect anyone, they do apologise for having hurt sentiments.

Farah Khan took to Twitter to apologise, and she wrote, "I'm extremely saddened that some sentiments have been inadvertently hurt by a recent episode of my show. I respect all religions, and it would never be my intention to disrespect any. On behalf of the entire team, Raveena Tandon, Bharti Singh and Myself.. we do sincerely apologise.".

Raveena tweeted, "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."

Sona Mahish, president of the Christian Samaj Front had alleged that the mockery of the word Hallelujah on the show had hurt the Christian community in Punjab. The first information report (FIR) was registered at the Ajnala police station in Amritsar under Section 295-A of the IPC.
