India Tourism office here today invited beauty therapist Jade Goody and her friends who have been tormenting Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty in a British reality TV show to visit India and experience the "healing nature" of the country.
In an open letter addressed to Goody and her friends through advertisements in leading London dailies, including The Times and The Guardian, the India Tourism said "Once your current commitments are over may we invite you to experience the healing nature of India." It said, "being one of the world's oldest civilizations, our land is one where the ancient and the modern co-exist and a multitude of religions live in harmony. We have a modern thriving culture and offer an amazing wealth of sights and sounds, tastes and textures making our country a place like no other." The advertisement spoke about the unmatched beauty spots the country offered, saying "our country is blessed with everything from snow-clad mountains and crystal glaciers to thick forests rich in wildlife and long sandy coastlines, offering something for everyone." In an apparent indirect dig at Goody, the ad said "As a beauty therapist, you may be especially interested in visiting one of the many spas where you can cleanse your stresses away, enjoy yoga in the land that invented it and experience Ayurvedic healing which promotes positive health and natural beauty."
