Mahira Sharma landed herself in trouble after she shared the picture of a certificate on her Instagram story claiming that she has received the ‘Most Fashionable Contestant Of Bigg Boss 13’ award at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Awards show. What she didn’t see coming was the massive controversy that would be created after officials of DPIFF slammed Mahira stating she has forged the certificate. Mahira then revealed to SpotboyE that there was a  communication error among the talent management team which gave rise to the fiasco, and that she hasn’t forged the certificate.

After Mahira Sharma rubbished claims of forging the Dadasaheb Phalke Award certificate, the officials insisted her to issue an apology in return. They shared a long post on social media with the caption, "Ms. Mahira, We hereby present the required facts on the matter. We further await for your apology as we dont want to drag this further and close it on a good note!" Now, Rashami Desai who was with Mahira Sharma during the award function, has reacted to the whole controversy, While speaking to Koimoi, Rashami said that it wasn’t completely Mahira’s fault.

Rashami said, “They invited all of us and told us something, whereas something else happened there. So, it was the organisers who should take care of all the mismanagement and disorganized stuff. It is a very big category, Dadasaheb Phalke Awards itself is a very big thing, but then when you invite people you shouldn’t take them lightly." On being asked whether she thinks Mahira should apologize, Rashami said, “I spoke to her, and why will she apologize? She’s not at fault. They gave her the frame.. she posted it on a good note and then, whatever problems are coming are not because of her but whatever the people are involved in it.”


As for Mahira Sharma’s response to DPIFF’s demand for an apology, she shared a post on Instagram stating that the talent management company has taken the onus of goof up and hence, she is not entitled to apologize. However, the post has now been deleted.
