Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has said sorry for her remarks where she described Rahul Gandhi as "half Indian". She said her comment were misunderstood.
"The comments have been misconstrued. They have been taken out of context. But having said that if I have caused hurt to anyone's sentiments, I deeply apologise. It was not the intention at all," Kaif told an Indian TV news channel.
In an interview to a daily, Katrina had said, "Am I supposed to be ashamed that I am half-Asian, I mean, no! Rahul Gandhi is half-Indian, half-Italian. So? I am very proud of what I am and I just don't understand the confusion? as if I'm trying to hide the fact that my mother's a British. Why would I?"
The actress said her comments were made without any "malice or real thought" but were taken out of context by the media.
"I will also request the media not to make a controversial issue out of something which was not meant with any intention or malice or any real thought behind it. That's all I have to say," the actress said.
