Jade invited to India to cleanse inner self ---Gandhigiri...






Nothing like getting back at reality show racism with a touch of Gandhigiri. Jade Goody, who earned the ire of UK's Asians for allegedly racist taunts she hurled at Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty in the TV show 'Celebrity Big Brother', has been invited to visit India's cultural and spiritual spas to "cleanse" her inner self.

Goody has now become an unlikely part of the Incredible India campaign with the tourism ministry releasing advertisements in British media asking her to come to India's healing shores to rid her of negative energy which has led her to spite Shetty on TV.

India Tourism office in London has put out the advertisements as an "open letter" in leading UK newspapers inviting the TV show celebrity, lately better known for her growing unpopularity. Goody recently came fourth in a '100 Worst Britons' poll. On Shetty, she is said to have commented, "She makes my skin crawl."

The ad suggests that being a beauty therapist, Goody may be interested in India's spas to "cleanse" her stress and recommends she enjoy yoga in the land that invented it and experience ayurvedic healing which promotes "positive health and natural beauty".
