Bollywood actress Richa Chadha has never shied away from sharing her opinions on social media about issues concerning the nation. From questioning why Lawrence Bishnoi had 10 guards while Sidhu Moose Wala had only two to calling out Randeep Hooda for his distasteful and crass comment on Mayawati, the actress has never minced words. However, her recent tweet has invited trouble for her.

Other social media users also called her out for insulting Indian Army and belittling the sacrifice of the jawans in the 2020 Galwan clash between India and China.

Ambushed with clubs wrapped in barbed wire, attacked with iron rods, 20 of India¡¯s bravest held their ground, until they were swallowed by the freezing Galwan river, but not before they took down 45 intruders.
