Richa Chadha quoted a tweet stating “Galwan Says Hi” earlier today of a user who mentioned Northern Army Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi’s statement, “We’re fully prepared to take back PoK from Pakistan. We are waiting for the orders from the govt. We will complete the operation quickly. Before that if Pakistan is violating the ceasefire, the answer will be different, even they cannot imagine.’- Commanding-in-Chief Northern Command IA.”
Soon, her tweet got viral and came under fire, with many verified users condemning her reaction, seemingly she mocked the Indian army. Actress later deleted the tweet and apologised. Akshay then took to Twitter, saying, “Hurts to see this. Nothing ever should make us ungrateful towards our armed forces. Woh hain toh aaj hum hain. 🙏”

Netizens defended Akshay and slammed Prakash for insulting the Indian Army. Check reactions below:
So you're supporting the mockery of martyrs of Indian army by Richa chadda?
Akshay did wrong that he came out in support of Indian army?
And yes Akshay is far more relevant to our country than both of you.— Ankit Varma (@complex_indian) November 25, 2022

After deleting and apologising, she tweeted, “Even though it can never be my intention in the least, if the 3 words which have been dragged into a controversy have offended or hurt anyone, I apologize and also say that it would sadden me if even unintentionally my words have triggered this feeling in my brothers in the Fauj, of which my own Nanaji has been an illustrious part. As a Lt. Col, he took a bullet in the leg in the Indo-China war, in 1960s. It’s in my blood. A whole family is affected when their son is martyred or even injured while saving the nation which is made up of people like us and I personally know how it feels. It is an emotive issue for me.”
