Hema Malini says ‘sorry’ after being trolled for Bihu tweet

Hindustan Times  

Veteran Bollywood actress Hema Malini on Friday issued an apology over a tweet in which she stated that the popular Assamese festival Bihu belongs to Bihar. That should read Bihu, festival of Assam,” Malini tweeted. Another wrote, “You are absolutely wrong madam, Bihu belongs to Assam only, we just achieved Guinness world record today as maximum number of group dance performers in a single venue.” “Bihu is a set of three important non-religious festivals unique to the Indian state of Assam ' Rongali ' or ' Bohag Bihu ' observed in April, ' Kongali ' or ' Kati Bihu ' observed in October, and ' Bhogali ' or ' Magh Bihu ' observed in January,” wrote one. Assam on Thursday created two world records as a total of 11,304 dancers and musicians performed Bihu dance at a stadium in Guwahati.
