Unlike Bollywood personalities like Anupam Kher, Riteish Deshmukh and others, the 30-year-old actress took to her Twitter handle to share a series of tweets, saying the video has been misinterpreted and the group does nothing to "offend" people.

Taking strong exception to the video, the Shiv Sena asked Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to take stringent action against AIB and Bhat for allegedly seeking to vitiate social harmony by mocking the national legends.
Sena leader Neelam Gorhe wrote to Fadnavis seeking action against those behind the video which she said was made by people with "deranged mentality".
