VIDEO: Sambhavna Seth, her husband Avinash apologise for hurting sentiments of Adivasi community

Actress Sambhavna Seth and her husband Avinash Dwivedi faced the heat from the netizens after their video went viral. The Adivasi community was offended by the duo for their usage of certain words. The video was uploaded on June 16. After being slammed by the netizens, Sambhavna and Avinash took to Instagram to share another video apologizing for hurting the sentiments of a certain community. The duo also pulled down the controversial video.

In the video, the duo said, “We had created a video on June 16 and we have now realized that the language used in that video belonged to the Adivasi community from Jharkhand. The community comprises more than 1 lakh people and many of their sentiments have been hurt. Our intention was just to make people laugh through our humorous video. It wasn’t our intention to demean anyone or any community. We don’t have a script, so, in the flow, we tend to speak inappropriate words and go wrong. We would want to apologise to all our subscribers, to the Adivasi and the non-Adivasi community because even we were hurt after reading the comments by the viewers.”

Sambhavna shared the video saying, “Apologising to the whole Adivasi community with @imavinashdwivedi.. We are also hurt because you are hurt.”
