Bollywood actress Richa Chadha has taken to social media to apologize for making fun of someone’s bipolar condition last year. The actress said that she started to understand what mental health was and it is the reason she wanted to hold herself accountable for her mistake.

"I think last year I made a joke about someone being 'bipolar'. The joke was borne out of a petulant desire to seem witty in even less than 280 characters. As I am now only beginning to grasp what #mentalhealth means, I just want to apologise and couldn't have said this sooner!" the actress tweeted on Monday, June 29.
