Sonakshi
Sinha
landed
in
trouble
with
the
Valmiki
Samaj
for
a
comment
she
made
recently.
During
an
interview,
the
actress
had
used
the
word
'bh*ngi'
to
describe
her
airport
looks.
After
the
Samaj
flared
up
in
anger
against
her
usage
of
the
word,
Sonakshi
issued
a
public
apology
on
her
social
media.
When
answering
a
question
posed
by
Siddharth
Kanan
regarding
her
airport
looks,
Sonakshi
had
responded
with
the
word
'bh*ngi',
to
which
the
Valmiki
Community
took
offence.
Angry
members
of
the
community
even
burned
an
effigy
of
Sonakshi
in
Moradabad,
Uttar
Pradesh.
The
Kalank
actress
has
issued
a
statement
of
apology
on
her
Twitter.
"With
reference
to
an
interview
I
did
with
Siddharth
Kanan
on
July
23,
2019,
I
place
on
record
that
I
have
tremendous
regard
and
respect
for
the
Valmiki
Samaj
and
all
their
valuable
contributions
to
our
society
and
country.
If
any
person
or
community
has
been
hurt
by
the
usage
of
any
word
by
me,
despite
it
being
unintentional
and
un-derogatory
to
anyone,
I
humbly
apologize
for
the
same," she
wrote.
On
the
work
front,
Sonakshi's
latest
release
is
'Khandaani
Shafakhana',
a
film
which
aims
to
remove
the
taboo
attached
to
the
topic
of
sex
by
encouraging
an
open
discussion
on
it.
While
many
critics
have
lauded
the
film's
intention,
they
have
expressed
disappointment
over
the
film
not
having
explored
its
full
potential.
Khandaani
Shafakhana
is
directed
by
Shilpi
Dasgupta,
and
it
marks
rapper
Badshah's
entry
into
Bollywood.
