Or whatever religious text she chooses to hold.
I 'm not offended that you accuse her of being Christian. I m amused that you're so worked up about that pic in her room. You see that as a sign of Hindi film stars letting Indian culture down. Goldie Hawn practised Hinduism. Was she dissing her American roots? Ananya Pandey and can practise Christianity without changing her name or without being burdened with the job of representing Indian culture.
The cross is more of a cultural symbol than OM because Western imperialism has exposed much of the world to Christianity and it's relics. There are plenty of literary and cultural works and references tied to it. That doesn't actually make one 'cooler' than the other but maybe some people take it that way. The same way they think denim is cooler than khadi.
@ underlined. Why do you think she owes anyone an explanation for that pic? Why is your username SpotLight and not a Desi one like Akhand jyoti ? Are you embarrassed of your culture? Are you ashamed to worship Agni Dev ?
Don't know about cool but Khadi is difficult and denim is easy...
Easy to maintain, take care of, washing, wearing and stuff
