Sonakshi Sinha Issues Her Humble Apology To Valmiki Samaj, Says It Was Unintentional And Underogatory

Recently, actress Sonakshi Sinha has caused controversy for using the insensitive slang in one of her interviews which was said to be an insult to the Indian caste community Valmiki Samaj. On Sunday, a protest against the actress has been held in Uttar Pradesh by the cluster which forced her to make an apology on it. 

A day later, Sonakshi Sinha took to her Twitter handle a message which shown respect to the Valmiki Samaj and acknowledged the contribution of them to the community. In addition to that, the actress also sent her apology to anyone who was hurt and insulted by the usage of her words even when they are ‘unintentional and underogatory’. 

"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," wrote the actress.

Earlier, Sonakshi made her appearance in an interview with Siddharth Kanan a few weeks ago and was asked about her airport styles. The actress who prefer casual outfits also confessed that sometimes she was too busy to prepare for her looks. "Yeh thodi hai ki purposely ghar jaake, bhangi banke chalu jaaugi," said the actress. The part which raised controversy among the Valmiki community was removed from the video. 

On the work front, Sonakshi Sinha was last seen opposite Varun Sharma and rapper Badshah in Khandaani Shafakhana.
