Bollywood star Richa Chadha has faced criticism for tweeting about the 2020 Galwan conflict, which resulted in the deaths of numerous Indian Army personnel.

Sharing a post on the statement, Richa took to her Twitter handle and wrote, "Galwan says hi." The actress deleted the post. On Thursday, she also apologised for her controversial tweet.  The actress said her intention was not to hurt anyone and apologised if her words triggered this reaction.
