New Delhi: ‘Bigg Boss 14’ contestant Jaan Kumar Sanu has apologised for his ‘anti-Marathi’ statement on the show, which led to a huge uproar. The video has been posted by Colors TV on its social media accounts. Jaan says he is “sincerely sorry” for his comments on Marathi language and said will never repeat the mistake.
