Shilpa Shetty Kundra was heavily trolled on social media and made headlines not just in India but even on International newspapers for advocating the use of George Orwell’s Animal Farm as a teaching aid to promote care for animals amongst children.
Later in the evening, she reacted on the trolls on Twitter. She said, ‘Whilst I admire the writers of LOTR, Harry Potter & Animal Farm I've "NEVER" read these books (@ the cost of sounding even dumber!)Not my kind’
She further added that, ‘So recommending them to kids is out of the question! Obviously some misunderstanding. Don't want to get into it. This too shall pass.’
Her apparent suggestion that Animal Farm, Orwell's celebrated analogy of the Russian revolution, was chiefly concerned with animal welfare, led to a volley of comments making fun of her on Twitter, where #ShilpaShettyReviews became the top trending hash tag across India.
