The Hum Aapke Hai Kaun actress took Twitter to school the MLA. She tweeted, "And what about the jackass Bishop who was raping her? Was he doing God's work? These Bishops have immense power which is why the Nun must have kept silent for so long. We should stand by her when she's found the strength to report this rapist Bishop rather than abusing her. Sick!"
