"A saree day... Will I be termed communal, Sanghi, bhakt, hindutva icon? If I say I love wearing the saree and I think it's the most elegant. (sic)" the actress wrote.
Soon after her tweet, Raveena, 42, was trolled on the micro-blogging site for "communalising saree".
A Twitter user posted, "Are you trying for a comeback in movie? Or trying to get a Sanghi seat in 2019? (sic) "
Raveena, however, later issued a clarification, saying her intention was not to give a communal colour to the attire.
"If it has come across as anything else. I apologise. That was not the intention. Had not thought that it would be misunderstood the way it has," she wrote.
