FIR against Farah, Raveena, Bharti for hurting religious sentiments

After Punjab Police filed a complaint against actress Raveena Tandon after receiving a complaint over her reaction in a part of a comedy show where the word ‘Hallelujah’ was used, the actor had cleared her stance on the issue by urging people to watch the concerned portion and asserting that no insult to any religion was intended during the show.

Tandon’s reaction comes after a police complaint was filed in the state over the usage of word ‘Hallelujah’ during a show where she made an appearance.

The actor cleared the air by sharing the original clip of the television show on Twitter and said: “Please do watch this link. I haven’t said a word that can be interpreted as an insult to any religion. The three of us (Farah Khan, Bharti Singh and I) never intended to offend anyone, but in case we did, my most sincere apologies to those who were hurt”

Earlier a complaint was filed against Tandon, along with director Khan and Singh by the Punjab Police for hurting religious sentiments.

“We received a complaint against actor Raveena Tandon, comedian Bharti Singh, and director-producer, Farah Khan, claiming they hurt sentiments of the Christian community, during a television show.” Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Sohan Singh said.

The trio has been booked under Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which pertains to “malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings by insulting religion or religious beliefs”.

Further investigation is underway in this regard, the police have said.

what is the relationship??

You mean she is a "Bhakt", that is why she did it on purpose to hurt the sentiment of the oppressed minority religion following people??

Comparing "Praise the Lord" to "Husband sleeping with his wife" is a trivial issue 😕

Oh Well! Since Hollywood itself mocks Christ so let India also do the same 😵

Nothing compared to the way BW hurts the sentiments of the majoritarian religion. I think Bharti genuinely didn't know what the word means

hope you say the same when hinduism is insulted left, right and center, not only in bollywood, but also here on the forum.....

yea, its sad that they made such a cheap joke out of the holy word.......but unfortunately such and worst insults have always been made on hindus too..... so wish those christian who are offended raise their voice during those times too, so that hindu sentiments are also not hurt........

yes, it is a trivial issue.

Does them using that word, in any way depreciates the meaning of that word?? Umm nope. Did Jesus taught people to get angry over the people who insult him(here they are not even insulting him)? No, he was the guy who taught to forgive, but no, people will not follow his teachings and philosophy, rather they want to get offended by something, which isn't even an insult.

I didn't know the meaning for a very long time of my life. Once I went with one of my Christian friends for pre Christmas celebration and they were singing "the word" (since I don't know the spelling) so I was like ye kya hai. Didn't even bother to ask but sang with them. Fir pucha to Matlab pata chala. I don't blame anyone if they don't know it, school me thodi Na padhte hai.
