LONDON, NOV 25 (PTI) — Less than a year after Shilpa Shetty became the
victim of racial slur in Britain, two of Bollywood's leading actors
have claimed that they're also racially abused while filming in the
country.
'Sexiest Asian Woman' Bipasha Basu and her co-actor Arshad Warsi were
verbally roughed up by a group of white men while they had been
shooting a scene for their latest film Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal near
Glassy Junction, a popular Indian pub in Southall, west London, some
months back.
"I was shocked. I'm not used to this sort of thing. A car stopped with
a couple of white guys. They just lashed out at us. For me it was an
alien thing. It was like, do people actually think like that?" the
media reported today, quoting Warsi as saying here.
Even fellow actor John Abraham, has said he's astonished too.
"When you come into London and you are shooting, it's the last thing
you expect."
Basu, Warsi and Abraham are currently in London where their film
premiered on Friday.
It may be recalled that 31-year-old Shetty became the target of racial
abuse in January when she was taunted on reality TV show Big Brother
by fellow contestant Jade Goody who had called her cooking
untrustworthy, mocked her Indian accent and complained about her
"screeching".
The controversy had even spilled into politics, prompting the then
British Prime Minister Tony Blair to condemn racism.
