i do not understand why educated people like these NRIs give so much importance to an heroine on occassion like independece day. I agree if people from some small town in india had invited a bollywood actor to such function. They couldve invited an achiever in fields like industry, science who contribute to the wellbeing of the nation or give some respect to it. I dont think indian film actors have bought good name to the nation. They are hardly recognised outside india by non indians. So..u people deserve this. Learn from this experience at least. And its an example for others also who plan to invite an actor/ item girl to every occassion irrespective of the importance of such occassions.
