Malini was called "insensitive" by Twitterati after she posted photos from Mumbai shoot of "Ek Thi Rani", her upcoming film. She later deleted the images and posted a tweet condoling the deaths in the clashes.
Malini, 65, says her political functioning anyway gets media coverage so she would like her Twitter feed to be only about her work as an artiste.
"After giving it a lot of thought, I've decided to restrict my Twitter updates to my film and dance activities.
The veteran actress said she has worked "sincerely" for her constituency and does not need to be told by anyone to do so.
"As an MP I have always worked sincerely for my constituency & will continue to do so without being prompted by anyone. My conscience is clear."
Talking about her Bollywood career, Malini said she is excited about her upcoming Hindi film with Rajkummar Rao.
"And now for something for my fans. 'Shimla Mirch' is ready for release. A lovely lighthearted film, it is bound to find favour with everyone.
"I have just completed the dubbing & feel happy with the result. Working with Ramesh Sippyji was a pleasure & I'm lookg forward to the release too.
