If you aren’t living under the rock, you would know the Freudian slip that Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty had today. Anway for the uninitiated, here’s the story:
The ICSE Board recently made a decision to include pop culture characters like Harry Potter, Tin-Tin and Asterix in their curriculum. A newspaper approached her for an interview on what she felt about the change. Shetty, mother of a 4-year old said, “Even Animal Farm should be included as it would teach little kids to love and care for animals”.
What followed next was a facepalm moment for the interviewer and a field day for Twitter as they trolled Shetty for her unintentionally hilarious interpretation of literary works that would make Shakespeare turn in his grave.
