Actress Richa Chadha has been embroiled in a major controversy over her tweet. The Bollywood actress has deleted her controversial tweet, but the reactions keep coming in. It all started when Richa Chadha reacted via a tweet to a top army commander's statement on Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Richa Chadha had made a reference to the 2020 Galwan clash with Chinese troops. But after a massive backlash, the actress deleted her post.
In her initial tweet, Richa Chadha had written: “Galwan says hi”
She later apologised, writing: "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."

Now, the likes of Anupam Kher, Kay Kay Menon, Raveena Tandon and Swara Bhasker have also reacted to the comments made by Richa Chadha.
"Dear @abhijitmajumder. Please do not club together all or generalise. This generates hate towards the Hindi film industry. All along there have been and are strong patriots in the industry who get thrown under the bus by a few and all good work done is then met with spite and venom," tweeted Raveena Tandon.
