'Dangal' actress Zaira Wasim who posted an APOLOGY had to DELETE it

Kashmiri actress Zaira Wasim who shot to fame as young Geeta Phogat in the Aamir Khan blockbuster "Dangal", had posted an apology on her social media account for meeting J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti, after she was subjected to vicious trolling.

However, soon after her apology made headlines, many B-town celebs came forward to lend their support and bashed the twitteratis for unnecssarily making fun of a young and inspiring girl.

Following the support that she instantly received from Bollywood celebrities and leading politicians, she withdrew her apology and published a clarification -- but this, too, the actress took down later.

The now-deleted clarification read: "Regarding my last post, I have no idea why this has become such a big issue. I just wanted to make sure that I did not hurt anyone's feelings and all of a sudden it has been turned into national news. Again and again I am telling people that I have not been forced into anything by anyone.

"This post was not meant against anyone, just wanted to make sure that people were not hurt by what I was doing. From media to everyone else, please don't blow this out of proportion. Neither was I forced nor am I against anyone. Hopefully this post just stops this once and for all."
