Bollywood actor Sonali Bendre, a close friend of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, came in defence of actor-MP Jaya Bachchan saying her alleged "anti-Marathi" remarks were misinterpreted".
"It was not meant as it was construed to be. It was a completely off the cuff remark which was misinterpreted," she said.
Bendre said, "I know the Bachchans from a long time and those who know Jayaji would know that it was not made with an attitude to disgrace anyone."
Jaya's alleged remarks at a promotional function of her son Abhishek's latest movie Drona snowballed into a major political controversy with the MNS taking umbrage at her utterances. Her husband and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan apologised on her behalf at a media conference in Mumbai.
