Popular Indian actress Urvashi Rautella has publicly apologized to accomplished actor Saif Ali Khan after bearing a lot of criticism for ‘unconsciously’ behaving insensitively regarding his terrible stabbing incident that occurred at his Bandra residence in the early hours of the day.
In case readers are not aware, Urvashi, who is currently basking in the success of her latest Telugu film, Daaku Maharaj, recently sat for an interview with ANI to promote the film. Upon being asked to share her thoughts on the brutal attack on Saif Ali Khan, the actress quoted it as an ‘unfortunate incident’ and right after the moment, her focus shifted to her recent film’s success, which did not sit well with netizens. Urvashi was heard saying: "It is very unfortunate. Daaku Maharaj ke Rs. 105 crore ke success ke baad, my mother… unhone ne mujhe gift ki diamond-studded Rolex and my father ne mujhe ye choti si mini-watch gift kari. Abhi humne 105 paar kar diya hai toh it's just a gift, but then hum confident nahi feel karenge bahar openly. We cannot wear kuch bhi. Ek insecurity ho jati hai ki anybody can attack us toh woh bohot zyada unfortunate hai."
Urvashi’s above-mentioned action drew criticism on social media. Users criticized her for being “out of touch” and “delusional”. Acknowledging the flak, a few hours ago, Urvashi issued a statement on Instagram, apologizing for her remarks and offering support to Saif Ali Khan and his family. The post read: “Dear Saif Ali Khan sir, I hope this message finds you in strength. I am writing with a deep sense of regret and heartfelt apology. Until now, I was completely unaware of the intensity of the situation you are facing. I feel ashamed that I allowed myself to be consumed by the excitement surrounding Daaku Maharaaj and the gifts I was receiving, instead of pausing to acknowledge and understand what you are going through. Please accept my sincerest apologies for being so ignorant and insensitive. Now that I know the gravity of your case, I am deeply moved and want to extend my unwavering support. Your grace, dignity, and resilience during such a challenging time are truly admirable, and I have nothing but immense respect for your strength. If there is any way I can be of help or support, please do not hesitate to let me know. Once again, I am truly sorry, sir, for my earlier indifference. I promise to do better and to always prioritize compassion and understanding in the future.”
