Tahira Kashyap Trolled For Sitting On Buddha’s Lap, Offers Apology For Hurting Religious Sentiments

Tahira Kashyap has been in the limelight for quite some time now for her exemplary courage while fighting breast cancer. However, recently she grabbed headlines for a rather unpleasant reason.

The director who also happens to be actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife shared a picture on her Instagram handle where she can be seen sitting on the lap of a huge statue of Budhha. Soon comments began pouring in where Tahira was trolled for sitting on the statue and hurting the religious sentiments of the people.  Here are some of the comments.

Tahira was quick to respond and she issued an apology for having offended religious sentiments. She wrote, “I apologise if I have offended anybody, but I myself am a Nicherin’s Buddhism practitioner and I felt embraced in the lap of Buddha. Every religion, every philosophy is about love. In no way did I mean to disrespect. Sorry if I have hurt anyone From my perspective there is only love.” She also removed the picture from her Instagram.

Tahira recently directed a music video for brother-in-law Aparshakti Khurrana along with Sargun Mehta that also marked Aparshakti’s singing debut. She will soon be directing a film named ‘Sharma Ji Ki Beti’ . There were rumors of Madhuri Dixit and Saiyaami Kher of Mirzya fame being a part of the film.
