Actor Raveena Tandon on Saturday sparked a controversy on Twitter with her post on the “saree”, where she targeted trolls, who labelled her as a “bhakt”.
“A saree day... Will I be termed communal, Sanghi, bhakt, hindutva icon? If I say I love wearing the saree and I think it’s the most elegant. (sic)” the actor wrote.
Soon after her tweet, Raveena (42) was trolled on the micro-blogging site for “communalising the saree”.
A Twitter user posted, “Are you trying for a comeback in movie? Or trying to get a Sanghi seat in 2019? (sic)”
Raveena, however, later issued a clarification, saying her intention was not to give a communal colour to the attire.
“Saree is a beautiful Elegant Indian Garment. My Tweet was NOT to communalise Saree. Was my fear of being trolled to say I love anything Indian,” she posted.
