It's completely on us: ALT Balaji associates apologise for liking a derogatory tweet against Shehnaaz Gill

The OTT platform, ALT Balaji is gearing up for the release of their much-anticipated show, Broken But Beautiful 3 starring Sidharth Shukla and Sonia Rathee. The romantic drama is garnering much attention and the platform is delighting fans by acknowledging their excitement. However, ALT Balaji landed in trouble after their associates, Autumn Worldwide, accidentally liked a derogatory tweet about Shehnaaz Gill. For the unversed, Shehnaaz and Sidharth are close friends since Bigg Boss 13. 

Soon after fans of Shehnaaz noticed ALT Balaji's like on the derogatory tweet, they slammed the OTT platform for disrespecting the actress. The hashtag 'Shame On ALT Balaji' was trending all over. One Twitter user wrote, "It is just not right. What mentality these guys have , just Pathetic. It is very disrespectful , it is Shehnaaz today tommorw might be someone else.
