The error did not go unnoticed as Netizens called her out for it and reminded her that Bihu is a festival celebrated in Assam.

Digital Desk: Bollywood actress Hema Malini has apologised to the people of Assam for her mistake in referring to Bihu as a Bihar festival. Hema Malini apologised for her wrong greeting in a message on Twitter on Friday, a day after it was made. She called it a "mistake" and said she was "sorry" about it.

The big debacle occurred as Assam attempted to popularise Assamese culture over the world by setting a record in Bihu performance. She made a mistake that was unexpected given that she had only recently visited Assam as a chief guest for the Nalbari Raas celebrations.

Hema Malini posted on her social media accounts, “It is the Harvest season now. Tamizh Puthandu (New year), Baisakhi (Punjab), Bihu (Bihar), and Pohela Baisakh or Naba Barsha (Bengal) are some of the festivals celebrated. Wish you all a wonderful festival month,” where she mentioned that Bihu is a festival of Bihar.



The error did not go unnoticed as Netizens called her out for it and reminded her that Bihu is a festival celebrated in Assam. They criticised the actress for her ignorance of the states and their festivals, despite being well-known and an elected representative.
