While fans were all praise for the actress, many were irked with the first poster released by the makers. In the poster, Richa was seen holding a broom which many claimed indicates the stereotyping of the Dalit community. While Richa had earlier defended the poster, she has now apologised saying the team s intention was not to hurt anyone s sentiments.

On Friday,
Madam Chief Minister.
Earlier this month, Richa had unveiled the first poster of the film where she can be seen holding a broom. However, the picture received significant backlash for misrepresenting the Dalit community.
Expressing their disappointment, several people had taken to social media to call out the makers for adding to the stereotypical representation of Dalits.
Now, Richa has issued a statement addressing the criticism and said that it was not a deliberate insinuation.
