MNS activists target Amrita Rao

Mumbai: Actor Amrita Rao recently faced the wrath of a few people claiming to be activists of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).

The incident occurred when Amrita was in the midst of a photo-shoot for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The alleged MNS activists stormed the sets and disrupted the shoot because they had information that the actor was doing a semi-nude photo session.

A source said, “Amrita was shooting for an ad campaign that talked about how people should clamp down on cruelty to animals. Suddenly a few men claiming to be MNS activists stormed the sets and demanded that the shooting be stopped immediately. They said they had information that the actor was doing the photo session wearing hardly anything. They thought it was a sleazy shoot. Some of them were even armed with bamboo sticks.”

The informer added, “Strangely, the people thought that the shoot was being done by Amrita Arora (Malaika Arora-Khan’s sister). However, the crew spoke to their leader and explained to him the concept of the shoot. The people also saw that Amrita was decently dressed. Thankfully, they understood that Amrita was doing this for charity and left the sets after apologising.”

Amrita said, “It was a scary incident. Suddenly a few men barged onto the sets and created a scene. What’s even stranger is that the people thought it was Amrita Arora. She is pregnant, so how on earth could she be doing an ad campaign?”

After a pause, she added, “I decide what I want to endorse and what I want to wear as long as it is in sync with a standard mode of conduct.”
