Renowned Pakistani actress, singer, host, and writer **Bushra Ansari** has responded to criticism she faced after making a light-hearted remark about **Amitabh Bachchan’s socks** and **Lata Mangeshkar’s saree** during a recent TV show appearance.

The veteran entertainer came under fire on social media after a clip from the show went viral, with many users calling her comments insensitive. However, Bushra has now released a video statement on her social media platforms to clarify the context of her words.

> **”It was just a joke I made to a fan-friend, and even during the show it was said in a non-serious, humorous manner,”** she explained.
> **”I’m surprised people took it so negatively.”**

She further added:

> **”I’m an entertainer, and humor is a big part of who I am. Unfortunately, people often fail to understand humor and twist things unnecessarily. Some cheap YouTubers exaggerated this small comment and turned it into a national issue. Please, don’t send me to jail over this!”**
