Hollywood actor and singer Selena Gomez recently faced the outrage of the Desi Twitterati after her picture from a recent collaboration went viral for all the wrong reasons.
The former Disney star was seen had collaborated with the famous sports brand Puma for their SG x PUMA AW19 Fall/ Winter 2019 collection in which, the singer donned a sporty attire and was captured standing on a couple of books.
Since books are considered holy and a source of knowledge and wisdom in India, many Indians tweeted expressing displeasure and called the singer insensitive and disrespectful.
