Hrithik Roshan has finally apologized for unintentionally hurting the religious sentiments of Christians with his reference to the “Pope” in one of his tweets in January.
“Seems my tweet about His Holiness has led to misunderstanding. My apologies for hurt caused to religious or other sentiments. Was unintentional,” Hrithik posted on Twitter.
Hrithik was earlier sent a legal notice by former Vice-Chairman of Maharashtra Minority Commission Abraham Mathai alleging that he hurt sentiments of the Christian community by referring “Pope” in gay tweet.
“There are more chances of me having had an affair with the Pope than any of the (I m sure wonderful) Women the media has been naming. Thanks but no thanks,” tweeted Hrithik on January 28.
In the notice, the actor was asked to apologize within a week failing which a criminal action will have to be faced.
Hrithik’s remarks on Twitter were observed amidst his fallout with his alleged ex, actress Kangana Ranaut.
