Ashwariya Rai

[Guest guest]

Ashwariya Rai played Lalita in BRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Personally I'd be

inclined to believe that the fur was fake, or at least that she

thought it was. Whether it REALLY was fake can't be proven, and even

if it was it was dumb to wear it, but I don't think it's fair for

people to be making such harsh moral judgments about her for it. It

shows a lack of awareness, but by no means a " sadistic pleasure. "

That's going over the line.
