Bollywood Actress Katrina Kaif had publicly apologised for her comments describing Rahul Gandhi as “half Indian”.
Katrina Said to a TV news channel, “The comments have been misconstrued. They have been taken out of context. But having said that if I have caused hurt to anyone’s sentiments, I deeply apologise. It was not the intention at all”.
Recently in a TV interview Katrina had said, “Am I supposed to be ashamed that I am half-Asian, I mean, no! Rahul Gandhi is half-Indian, half-Italian. So? I am very proud of what I am and I just don’t understand the confusion – as if I’m trying to hide the fact that my mother’s a British. Why would I?”
“I will also request the media not to make a controversial issue out of something which was not meant with any intention or malice or any real thought behind it. That’s all I have to say,” Katrina adds.
Earlier in the day Congress party was furious with Kaif’s comments and the party spokesperson Manish Tewari told, “Who is she? I do not know. Tomorrow, you will ask for our reaction on the statement of Johny Lever. To what level you want to bring down the level of the political discourse in the country?”
