Actor Hrithik Roshan apologises for his tweet on Pope Francis

Mumbai, Apr 4: After a notice was slapped on Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan for a tweet on Pope Francis in January this year, the actor has now apologised for the same.

Roshan was issued a notice by Christian Secular Forum in Mumbai last week seeking an unconditional apology for his tweet on Pope Francis.

The actor was accused of hurting the sentiments of the Christian community by his remark about the Pope. The legal notice was served by Abraham Mathai, former vice chairman of the State Minorities Commission.

Roshan tweeted on Saturday, Apr 2 and said: "Seems my tweet about His Holiness has led 2misunderstanding. My apologies 4 hurt caused 2religious or other sentiments. Was unintentional."

Roshan, who is currently in a legal tangle with Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut over their alleged affair, in January had tweeted: "Ther r more chances of me having had an affair with d Pope dan any of d (Im sure wonderful)women d media hs ben naming.Thanks but no thanks."

The tweet was said to be an indirect response to Ranaut's statement.
