Sambhavna Seth & Her Husband Avinash Dwivedi Apologise To Adivasi Community

After receiving severe backlash online, former Bigg Boss contestant and actress Sambhavna Seth and her husband Avinash Dwivedi have issued an apology for mocking their house help in a video. The video has now been removed.

In a video posted on YouTube on June 16, Sambhavna Seth and Avinash Dwivedi were seen making fun of their help's language and native place. Though the woman kept correcting them, the couple took turns mocking her. The video has now been removed. It was shared on social media by other accounts.

After receiving the comments from the viewers about being hurt, Sambhavna and Avinash extended an apology to the entire community.

She captioned the post, "Apologising to the whole Adivasi community with @imavinashdwivedi We are also hurt because you are hurt. #adivasi #community #acceptourapologies."

In the video, the couple said, "We had created a video on June 16 and we have now realised 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."

Adding further, Sambhavna said, "We didn't realise that we made a mistake unless the people commented on Instagram and tagged us. We have taken down that video for your respect because we would never want to hurt any community. Our only intention is to spread love. We assure you we will never hurt any community here or anywhere in the world. With folded handed, we apologise to everyone. If at all again, we make a mistake, please let us know because it's important to know our mistakes."

In the past, TV actresses Munmun Dutta and Yuvika Chaudhary had also used casteist slurs that offended the minority community, both the ladies later issued apologies too.
