Hrithik Roshan has apologised for hurting "religious or other sentiments" caused by his reference to the "Pope" in his tweet in January, saying it was "unintentional".

The 42-year-old actor was sent a legal notice on March 30 by former vice-chairman of Maharashtra Minority Commission Abraham Mathai, who said Hrithik has hurt sentiments of the Christian community by making a reference to "Pope" in a tweet directed at actress Kangana Ranaut.

According to the notice, the actor was asked to apologise within seven days failing which a criminal complaint will be filed.

"Seems my tweet about His Holiness has led to misunderstanding. My apologies for hurt caused to religious or other sentiments. Was unintentional," Hrithik posted on Twitter.
