An FIR has been filed against actor Shweta Tiwari for allegedly hurting religious sentiments after she made an offensive statement during a press conference in Bhopal on Wednesday, as per India Today.
The case was registered under Section 295(A) of the Indian Penal Code at the Shyamla Hills police station in Bhopal.
Shweta had visited Bhopal for a press conference about her upcoming web series that also stars Rohit Roy, Digangana Suryavanshi, and Sourabh Raaj Jain in lead roles. As per a clip obtained from the event, where the star cast was seen seated on a dais, Shweta made a statement, “Mere bra ki size bhagwan le rahe hai.” (God is taking the measurements for my bra)
As per viral reports, the show for which the press conference was held is a fashion-related web series. ‘Mahabharata’ fame Saurabh Jain who played the role of Lord Krishna in the mythological show, will be playing the role of a ‘bra fitter’ in the upcoming series. Reports suggest Shweta jokingly made the statement in reference to Saurabh, during the press conference.
Netizens started slamming the 41-year-old actor, as soon as the video of Shweta’s controversial remark went viral on the internet.
