Ritesh Deshmukh Apologizes: I am sorry to all I hurt

Mumbai / Kolkata, Sept 8 (IBNS) The topic for this Sunday episode of Star Plus’ popular chat show Tere Mere Baech Mein is Socha Na Tha. All the three guests who came on the show hosted by Farah Khan are Ritesh Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Sreesanth were chosen as all the three had committed mistakes which they never thought would have such a huge impact in their lives and would create some major controversies.

November 30, 2008 is a day Ritesh Deshmukh would want to erase from his memory. On the unfortunate turn of events, he says, “I was going on a shoot and Ramuji (Ram Gopal Verma) was supposed to come with me and we were to drive together. My father was going for a check up, so we all were in the same car, however since my father was the CM, he wanted to go and assess the situation at the Taj ordeal site. To my knowledge, the police had assured that it was all clear at the site and they had collected all the required evidences.”

He adds, “I was heartbroken as I’d lost three people who were very dear to me in that tragedy. Earlier also there have been incidents, not of this magnitude, then too I have gone there but then I was not an actor.If you play the footage then you will see that I was always standing behind. Samne sab beaurocrats, 15-20 police officers aur mantralaya ke stuff the aur peeche hum the, we were just taking a look. We had no intentions.”

Accepting his mistake he says, “If my going there offended anyone or hurt anyone, I just want to say that I am sorry, my unconditional apologies to everyone who thought that my being there was wrong or if I’ve hurt anyone.”

The episode will be aired Sunday (Sept 13) at 9 pm only on Star Plus.
