Actor Kajol has been forced to issue a statement, after a video of her allegedly eating beef went viral on social media. She said,
“A video of me at a friend’s lunch said that there was a beef dish at the table. That is a miscommunication. What was shown was buffalo meat, that is a legally available meat. I’m issuing this clarification because this is a sensitive matter that may hurt religious sentiments, which is not my intention.”
