excuse me? so you will blindly believe the person who said they heard the bodyguard say "bloody indian", why is that? Because they are INDIAN.. so you think their words mean the truth..
No need to get offensive or patronising.. I know that Brangelina are the kind who ahve donated a LOT of money to charity, have adopted orphans from poor countries, spend their time and money to make awareness about matters that affect the world... angie is the goodwill ambassador of UN.. so I seriously doubt these compassionate people would have bigots and racists working for them
For YOU their actions, the way they conduct themselves in public may mean nothing because if their nationality..for people who have read about them, it is VERY hard to believe that they would have bigots in their crew
Capise?🤔
People please chill....This isnt surely the kind of debate I wanted,lets peacefully debate without getting over defensive or jingoistic please
Agreed indiaglitz isnt a credible source,hell for that matter even Mid day isnt credible and is reknown for fabricating stuff,but what about Hindustan Times,which is an affiliate of the Times of India group,which inturn is the affiliate of the global Times Group..What about NDTV and Times Now,an affiliate of Reuters..What about CNN IBN..I'm sure those credible dailies/newschannels wouldnt have published this news if there wasnt even a trifle bit of truth to it.....And SInce this predicament happened on INDIAN SOIL,I would rather choose to believe what the Indian media says😊
One very strong reason which goes against those bodyguards is that they have a prior record of manhandling journalists,abusing them...Angelina and brad are not in the remotest way racist,but there's no guarantee that their bodyguards are as good humans as brangelina are...Another very strong point is that these parents were "Muslims" and the detestation for Muslims is quite well known....My friend actually said"Thank Heavens those bodyguards didnt call those parents "bloody muslims" "
Brangelina can well SORT OUT this confusion and then leave....If Indeed the bodyguard isnt guilty,and if its proven in court,the very same dailies(or atleast HT,ToI) would condemn the act of those who spread rumours....

Its an article from India Glitz.. I wouldn't take that as a "credible source"... or any other Indian magazines/paper for that matter
"Taj Hotel sources " HAHAHAHAHAHAHA like what? their room attendant overhead them?
Brad and Angie aren't the type to leave the country if there's a controversy.. I'm sure if this is true then they're flying back for some personal or professional reasons.. Brad's movie Babel has just had a limited release it could be because of that.. or it could be any other reason
and that article is disgusting.. its trying to provoke the sensitive indian people even more... gosh why do they always make a huge deal out of small matters...we don't even know if the guards uttered racial slurs..even if they do its very low of the media and Indian public to try to savotage the movie and bash Brangelina.. | | |
Excuse me, what are you trying to say???That its low of the parents to complain against the bodyguards???Or is it us who are low, who are asking that the body quards should be taken into custody and asked for apology???Bradangelina came into picture only when they started to push this matter under the carpet...May be for you being called a 'bloody Indian' is ok......But unfortunately not everybody is as compassionate..🤔
I feel Indian media handled this in a very dignified manner...Otherwise imagine the plight of any Indian actor who tries to mess up with them...
And you seem to be knowing more about the so called Bradangelina, that you were able to so confidently calim that they were not the escaping types...😕...That's good for you..But I know about our common people in India and they are not the ones who go to the extent of going to a police station and complaining about some Tom, Dick and Harry out of the blue..
India is a very friendly country and that's the whole reason we even allowed them in, and even allowed them to create a Karachi setting, while Pakistan outrightly rejected to give Visas to some of the crew...

That is the responsibility we were given. We chose to take it.
The school offcials need to be dealt with severely for creating an international scene. Why was the police permission not acquired? If it was the PRODUCTION UNIT's responsibility, why were they not asked to leave the premises before getting a written permission? Why were the PARENTS not adequately informed about the consequences, about the bodyguards?? why did the filming occur in the premises while parents had come to pick up their kids?
Blame-shifting is a great game. Someone had posted "why such a thing would not happen in the USA". That is because our (US) law officials, schools and other organizations respect citizens/ children of our country and will protect their rights.
A big lesson to learn here for everyone-
1) sick racists
2) religious leaders manipulating the very fabric of any religion
3) law officials / officials that allow oversees production units to work in an environment where children could be potentially exposed to such situation
4) production units going abroad w/o anticipating negative events that could occur and not being extra careful about it,
5) production units lacking oversees experience / misleading angry locals into rage rather than taking moderate steps
6) getting to know the foreign food, arts and crafts and clothes is not understanding the psyche of countrymen
6) aahh the press ofcourse.. not everything is about sales ,,
Daniel Pearl deserved a better treatment than what all of us could offer..

Qt,I agree that IT IS THE FAULT OF THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION that so much of inconvinience was caused to the Parents🤢...The school needs to be sued,the administration fired......I for one didnt blame Angie for the inconvinience caused per se
But,when the parents were getting impatient,It was wrong on the bodyguard's part to stop them ,one representative should have been let inside the school to deal with the school authorities...By keeping the parents outside,the bodyguard just subscribed to the idea of keeping the kids incarcerated.....HE could have reported this to Jolie and let her deal with whether the shoot be stopped or not...But no,nothing of this sort happened,the bodyguard very well knew that kids were inside and that it was dismissal time and that parents have come to take their kids home....Brad said that even those bodyguards have kids,thus they can never treat kids badly,but then why was it that these bodyguards couldnt empathise with those parents who were anxious for their kids...I'm sure that by halting the shoot for 40 mins,nothing would have gone amiss,they could have shot after all the kids had left..Their act of not letting the parents in enraged them,and over that,those abuses and the bullying and gestures(C'mon,there are just way too many evidences which say that the word "bloody indian" WAS used😕) was the coup de grace, jeopardizing the shoot schedule..Brad might go blue in his face rubbishing it,but why would parents lie😕
Besides,WHY was it that the bodyguards were guarding the entrance,shouldnt it have been the school's security..I'm sure the parents wouldnt have been so infurious had it been the school's security doing the talking,what was appalling was that some goras were terrorizing and tyrannizing parents who had just come to pick their kids up
