Mumbai/New Delhi.
Actor Ranvir Shorey, who was once against the construction of Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, has now apologised for making such comments and congratulated those who fought for the Mandir.
Taking to X, the actor said, “I was one of the many Hindus who were willing to sacrifice the temple at Ayodhya, and have a monument or hospital in its place, just so we can end this long-standing conflict between the communities”.
“Today I feel ashamed that I was willing to sacrifice righteousness at the altar of peace. Ashamed that I didn’t stand up for Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram and his values,” he added.
“My heartfelt congratulations and felicitations to everyone who fought this long and hard battle for truth and justice. I pray to Lord Ram for forgiveness and satbuddhi for the future. I pray that Dharma prevails in this great land of ours for eternity, and brings with it a lasting peace and prosperity for all the people of #Bharat. Jai Shri Ram,” he concluded.
