White British actresses told to leave Bollywood

British actresses who appear in Bollywood films are being targeted in a hate campaign by one of India's most feared political leaders.

Actress Hazel Crowney: British actresses have flocked to Bollywood

Stars including Alice Patten, the daughter of Lord Patten of Barnes, and Hazel Crowney, a former model from Kent, have been accused of stealing jobs from local girls.

Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), a Mumbai nationalist street gang and political party which inspires terror throughout the city, has called on foreign white actresses to go home.

His campaign for a ban on the estimated 1,000 British and other foreign actors who regularly appear in Bollywood films has been widely criticised but many foreign actors are too afraid to speak out.

Thackeray is especially feared in Bollywood, where he has the power to shut productions and close cinemas.

Maybe this is a cue to our Gov’t to tell the Illegals to get the hell out of here too.

The likely result of banning the white actresses, is a large loss of jobs in Bollywood. Obviously, a large segment of the audience wants to see these actresses -- and they add to the box-office receipts. The actors are only a small fraction of the employment in the movie industry. Any drop-off of box-office receipts will soon translate into a loss of employment.

Sounds that way. It seems that a combination of gansta figures and liberal fruitcakes makes up entertainment industry all over the globe.

You don't know Mama. (Not my mother, just the boss.)

PLEASE! I have never worked with an Indian programmer who could do anything but hit every problem with a code hammer.

Hard coded, impossible to maintain, while management says “Oh, it works!”

And Bollywood movies are stupid and just suck.

Some cultures are not worth preserving - Bollywood is a gerat example.

Bollocks. He just wants to be paid protection by the studios.

They’ll ante up and eventually some of his goons will be employed to break up the Unions.

Best,

Chris

Completely agree. Bollywood is Muslim crap.

As for this nutter who wants foreigners out, as per information in the Indian press, he wants Indians from other parts of the country out, too.

I guess he needs being put down for the rabid animal that he is.

Checked out information on his past.

He is like the Indian version of Le Penn.

One of his other demands is to chase fellow Indians from other parts of the country, out of his locale.

Bollywood is Muslim crap!?!? Sheesh, sometimes the sheer unabated lack of information on FR is amazing! That is like saying St Patrick’s day is a Jewish holiday, or Lutefisk is a Samoan delicacy. Although, the US did just elect a chap who may very well not even be an American citizen, thus Bollywood being Muslim may be part of the same warp vortex that had some American pal in college ask me about Tigers in Africa and Pearl Harbor getting bombed by the Mexicans in the Civil War!

Bollywood artists and directors are largely Muslim, or Muslim-influenced. Hell, even the language used isn’t really Hindi; it’s Urdu.

The pretty women may be Hindu, but the entire industry is catering to the Persian-tilt interests of Indian urban society.

Bingo! An AMERICAN friend would have is phone ring at 3 am all the time from mumbai. He worked for a big bank that got TARP money but was not a huge disaster.

The Indians would screw things up and he would have to fix them in the middle of the night. He found a better job.

Said bank has animated youtube videos by disgruntled employees on how bad the banks sucks when new customers walk through the door.
