<p>Raveena Tandon, however, later issued a clarification, saying her intention was not to give a communal colour to the attire.</p>
<p>Raveena also hit back at Twitter trolls for indicating that she is voicing her opinion to further her political ambitions. She said she is not interested in joining politics.</p>
<p>Raveena Tandon said, "All those thinking I want to get into politics. I am not interested. Was offered by TMC. Congress, and BJP. Said No."</p>
<p>She even justified her 'saree' tweet.</p>
<p>"The reason that I put a disclaimer for saying I love the saree! Nowadays can be trolled for anything and can be twisted to suit narrative... Last I knew one was in a democracy and could practice your faith without being targeted and called names," she said.</p>
<p>The 'Mohra' actress added, "Saree is a beautiful elegant Indian garment. My tweet was not to communalise saree. Was my fear of being trolled to say I love anything Indian."</p>
<p>The actress even apologised for her tweet.</p>
<p>"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."</p>
