Shweta Tiwari recently landed in a controversy as her remark was taken out of context!
Shweta was present at the launch of her upcoming series Show Stopper when her comment ‘Mere bra ka size bhagwan le rahe hai’ caught people’s attention.
However, that particular remark taken without context made netizens think she was being crass about her innerwear.
On the contrary, Shweta was just referring to her co-star Sourabh Raaj Jain – who plays a ‘bra fitter’ in the upcoming show. Sourabh has previously been known to play Lord Krishna in Mahabharat series. What she had meant to say was – how Sourabh had gone from playing the role of a god to that of a bra fitter.
“Bhagwan se seedha Bra Fitter,” she can be heard saying in the video, teasing Sourabh.

However, unfortunately, the controversy blew out of proportion and Shweta was booked for allegedly hurting religious sentiments!
Shweta then issued an official clarification that her statement was being misconstrued. Nevertheless, she apologized for unintentionally hurting people’s sentiments.
Read her official note:
“It has come to my notice that a certain statement of mine referring to a colleague’s previous role has been taken out of context and has been misconstrued. When put in context, one will understand that the statement in reference to ‘Bhagwan’ was in context with Sourabh Raj Jain’s popular role of a deity. People associate character names to actors and hence, I used that as an example during my conversation with media. However, it has been completely misconstrued which is saddening to see.
As someone who has been a staunch believer of ‘Bhagwan’ myself, there is no way that I would intentionally or unintentionally say or do any such thing that would hurt sentiments by and large. I have, however, come to understand that when taken out of context, it has unintentionally hurt feelings of people. Please be assured that it has never been my intention to hurt anyone, with my words or actions. Hence, I would like to humbly apologise for the hurt that my the statement has unintentionally caused to a lot of people.”
