Reports circulating online suggest that during a media interaction, Rakhi made insensitive comparisons between the scenic hills of Nagaland and her own physical attributes.
“Don’t focus solely on my ‘oops’ moments. You only pay attention to my ‘Karan Arjun’ (referring to her breast area) and Nagaland. Why do you do this? Every time I see social media, the camera angles are in the wrong place. This is not right. As an Indian citizen, I will come to India, not Nagaland. This is my country, and I will only come here,” she was quoted as saying.
Rakhi’s remarks sparked widespread outrage among netizens on various social media platforms.
