Here’s What Shilpa Shetty Has to Say About Her ‘Animal Farm’ Gaffe

Shilpa Shetty says she’s been misunderstood and we sure hope so.

Shilpa Shetty was trending and how on Twitter on Monday. The actress’ quote to a newspaper in which she recommended books for children got seriously trolled online. Shilpa had reportedly rated George Orwell’s political satire Animal Farm, as a book that “can teach little ones to love and care for animals”.
