Khushbu Sundar, who has landed in a fresh controversy for talking bad about journalists in a WhatsApp audio message meant for television producers about resuming shoots of TV serials, has tendered apology.
In the clip, the actress-politician-producer said, “More importantly, press people will somehow turn up. So, make sure you don’t give them a chance to take photos or videos. They are waiting to rip us apart.”
She added: “‘Presskaaran doesn’t have any news other the COVID right now. So, they would be waiting to publish something about us once shooting resumes. So, please take care.”
As the above message triggered a controversy, she posted on her Twitter page, “My voice message, an edited version, regarding the press is making rounds. It has gone from our producers group n I am ashamed to say we have such cheap minds among us. My intentions were clear n not meant to disrespect the press. Its a tone you speak within friends.”
“My respect for the press is for all to see and journalists can vouch for that. Not even once in my 34yrs of cinema they would have ever seen or heard me speaking to them nor about them in disrespect. The voice message is half. But my sincere apologies if I have hurt any of you,” Khushbu added.
She also said, “Very unfortunately you realize those who you work for are the ones who try and stab you behind your back. I know which producer has done this..but i shall not name them. My silence and forgiveness is their biggest punishment. There is lot more to be done and I shall continue.”
