'Eco-hypocrite': Leaders, businessmen arrive in fuel-guzzling private jets at COP26

<p>The struggle for staying relevant is real. Ask any Indian celebrity and they will tell you all about it.</p>

<p>Some of them recently had a lot to say about the death of George Floyd. The #blacklivesmatter is trending and&nbsp;speaking out against racism is the politically correct thing to do.</p>

<p>So a lot of our Indian divas jumped in to generate good PR. Only that they forgot they may be guilty of fanning racism.</p>

The struggle for staying relevant is real. Ask any Indian celebrity and they will tell you all about it. Some of them recently had a lot to say about the death of George Floyd.

The struggle for staying relevant is real. Ask any Indian celebrity and they will tell you all about it. Some of them recently had a lot to say about the death of George Floyd. The #blacklivesmatter is trending and speaking out against racism is the politically correct thing to do. So a lot of our Indian divas jumped in to generate good PR. Only that they forgot they may be guilty of fanning racism. View this post on Instagram There is so much work to be done and it needs to starts at an individual level on a global scale.
