The famous Israeli-American Actress, Natalie Portman, has upset America’s leading Hindus with her portrayal of an Indian princess in ex-boyfriend Devendra Banhart’s new Carmensita video therefore, they’re calling for a public apology from her.

Actually the actress is playing a role of Princess Carmensita Saplingita in the promo which according to the some religious scholars is ‘denigrating’ to Hinduism.

The scholars claim that the video is ‘mocking Hindu concepts and Symbols’ and the images used in the video are reversed in Hinduism and are not to be thrown around loosely for dramatic effects. It has being claimed that this video is simply made to feed wrong stereotypes of Hindu religion.

An acclaimed Hindu and Indo-American statesman, Rajan Zed, admits that he is deeply hurt by the video, further he invited Hollywood to immerse itself in Hinduism, but we ask that actors and actresses, directors and producers take our religion seriously and respectfully.

Besides Zed, officials at the Hindu Alliance of India, Shri Ramayan Pracharini Sabha, India Heritage Panel, have also demanded the actress to distance herself from the Banhart video. “Forgiveness is one of the main virtues of Hindu ethics.

If Natalie Portman offers a sincere public apology, Hindus would not only absolve her but might also pray for her success in future ventures,” Zed added.
