After facing a backlash for criticising the government on Twitter over its apathy towards Mumbai citizens during monsoon, actor Neha Dhupia has clarified that she didn’t intend to “hurt” or “demean” anyone with her post.

On July 21, Neha tweeted: “One rain and the city comes to a standstill. Good governance is not about selfies and making us do yoga, it’s making sure your citizens are safe.” The post, many thought, took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
