The Kasautii Zindagii Kay actor quoted the tweet and wrote that hurting the sentiments of the Indian Army should not be acceptable to any of us, but Ekta Kapoor had gone on to rectify the unintentional mistake. Hina Khan further added that this does not justify the rape threats Ekta has been getting on social media against her and her family. She also wrote that it is unfair for the producer to face such kind of harassment for a mistake she has done on a fictional show. Take a look at the Bigg Boss 11 contestant’s tweet.
