We’re sure Natalie Portman is pleased to hear from leading American Hindus regarding her music video with ex-boyfriend Devendra Banhart.
Hindu scholars are calling for an apology from Portman for her portrayal of an Indian princess in Banhart’s video for Carmensita.
We’re calling for an apology for Banhart’s peen pics (NSFW – duh)!
Indo-American statesman and devout Hindu, Rajan Zed, said he was hurt by the video. He said that too often revered Hindu imagery is used too lightly in pop culture, contributing to discouraging stereotypes.
His voice joins those of officials at the Hindu Alliance of India, Shri Ramayan Pracharini Sabha, India Heritage Panel, who would also like Nat to “distance herself from the Banhart video.”
We’re sure she’d be all too happy to.
We don’t know – we thought the video was a cute homage to the Bollywood aestehtic.
What do U think?
