Actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra became new target of social media trolling after her recent interview went viral.
When asked about the Council of School Certificate Examination (CISCE) board’s decision to include Harry Potter series in the English Literature syllabus for junior and middle school students, Shilpa said that reading the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter will cultivate the imagination and creativity of the children to a large extent.
In addition, said that George Orwell’s dystopian novella Animal Farm will also prove helpful, because the book can teach the little ones how to love and care for animals!
Just after her comment, #ShilpaShettyReviews trending on Twitter with people posting jokes about other books.
