Bharti Singh reacted after multiple FIRs against her, Raveena Tandon and Farah Khan. She apologised, also revealing that she apologised to the Cardinal.
Bharti Singh broke her silence after multiple cases were registered against her, along with Raveena Tandon and Farah Khan for hurting religious sentiments on A show. The comedian apologised to the Christians offended by the comments that mocked the religious word 'Hallelujah.' Bharti also thanked Cardinal Oswald Gracias, who forgave Raveena and Farah as the duo met him to offer their apology.
Bharti also revealed that she too conveyed her apology to the Cardinal in a voice note since she is out of the country at the moment. She conveyed her gratitude to him for forgiving her.
Here’s the post
While Raveena and Farah had posted a clarification and offered an apology in case their comments had offended anyone in the last few days, Bharti had maintained silence till now.
Earlier in the day, Farah had shared pictures from the visit to Cardinal Oswald Gracias and written, “To Err is human.. to Forgive Divine.. Thank you YOUR EMINENCE CARDINAL OSWALD GRACIOUS for meeting us n accepting our heartfelt apologies and putting this unfortunate matter to rest. Frm all of us thank you also @allwynsaldanha for making this happen.”
The trio were accused of ‘hurting religious sentiments’ after they joked over the word ‘ Hallelujah’ which means ‘Praise the Lord’ on the Farah-hosted Backbenchers that airs on Flipkart. Bharti was the one making most of the ‘offensive’ statements while the other two were only seen laughing or playing along. She, however, did not know the meaning of the word for most of the segment.
As per reports, four FIRs were registered against the trio. Three of them of those were in Punjab , where a peaceful protest was also held against them. Another case was lodged in Beed, Maharashtra.
