Raveena Tandon Calls Out American News Channel For Calling Namaste, A Prayer Like Gesture
While reporting Prince Charles' visit the London Palladium on Wednesday, a popular news channel called Namaste,'a prayer-like gesture' and it didn't sit well with Raveena Tandon.
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Priyanka
Chopra
have
been
advocating
'Namaste'
as
the
ideal
greeting
for
everyone
to
avoid
contact
with
people
instead
of
a
handshake.
And
last
week,
Prince
Charles
while
on
a
tour
opted
for
the
ancient
Indian
greeting
amid
the
coronavirus
scare.
While
reporting
Prince
Charles'
visit
the
London
Palladium
on
Wednesday,
a
popular
news
channel
called
Namaste,
'a
prayer-like
gesture'
and
it
didn't
sit
well
with
Raveena
Tandon.
ABC
News
shared
the
clip
of
Prince
Charles'
visit
and
wrote,
"Prince
Charles
offered
a
handshake
before
quickly
changing
his
mind
and
instead
greeting
guests
at
the
Prince's
Trust
Awards
with
a
prayer-like
gesture
to
avoid
contact
amid
coronavirus
concern."
Raveena
in
response
slammed
the
channel
and
quoted
their
tweed,
"It's
a
"Namaste".
Do
some
homework
@ABC"
Namaste
has
become
quite
popular
with
the
global
media,
since
Donald
Trump
and
Emmanuel
Macron,
were
also
seen
using
the
gesture
to
greet
people
during
public
appearances.
Coronavirus
has
affected
a
count
to
83
people
in
India
with
one
death
in
Karnataka.
Several
states
have
declared
all
public
places
to
be
shut
down
and
the
health
officials
have
advised
necessary
safety
precautions.
