Both Raveena and Farah had apologised after multiple FIRs were registered against them and Bharti Singh in Punjab for mocking the word ‘Hallelujah’ on the Farah-hosted Backbenchers. The word means ‘Praise the Lord’ and holds significance in Christian prayers.
Two separate cases were registered by Punjab Police, one in Ajnala and the other in Ferozepur. Even peaceful protests against the trio were held in various parts of the state. Sonu Jafar, president of the Christian Front of Ajnala Block, while filing his complaint had alleged that the celebrities had "the religious sentiments of Christians have been hurt".
Congress leader Raj Kumar Verka also protested and said that such channels should be banned. A FIR was also registered on his complaint. As per reports, another FIR was filed in Maharashtra's Beed.
Farah had earlier apologised, “I’m extremely saddened that some sentiments have been inadvertently hurt by a recent episode of my show. I respect all religions, n it would never be my intention 2disrespect any. On behalf of the entire team, Raveena Tandon, Bharti Singh and Myself.. we do sincerely apologise.” (sic)
Raveena had tweeted the video and issued about an explanation earlier.
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. https://t.co/tT2IONqdKI
