NEW DELHI: Television actor Shweta Tiwari has landed in a controversy for allegedly referring to God while making a statement about her innerwear. Her controversial remark on God led to sharp rections from people and further prompted Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra to direct the police to investigate her statement and seek a report within 24 hours.
Shweta made the statement in Bhopal on Wednesday during the promotion of her web series 'Show Stopper'. Her co-actors were also present when she made the remark during an interaction with media persons.
