Shweta Tiwari faced criticism after a video of her comments at a press conference for the series Show Stopper went viral. The series also stars Sourabh Raaj Jain, Rohit Roy, Digangana Suryavanshi, and Kanwaljit Singh in the lead roles. The team was attending a press conference on Wednesday for the series where Shweta was asked about Sourabh Raaj Jain's role as Lord Krishna in Mahabharat serial and how he was playing a 'bra fitter' in the new series.
During the press conference, Shweta jokingly replied, "Mere bra ka size bhagwan le rahe hai (God is taking measurements of my bra)" and then laughed out.
Meanwhile Shweta is yet to issue a statement on the controversy, however she posted a dancing video on Instagram on Thursday.
