Pray Tell

Bollywood Singer Is A Man Of The Cloth

A popular Bollywood male singer apologised recently for wearing a burqa to pray in a famous Muslim shrine in India. Himesh Reshammiya said he was sorry if people were ``offended'' by his dressing as a woman to enter the shrine in Ajmer. The shrine's prayer attendants have defended the singer, who changed into the burqa after he was mobbed by fans at the gate, and slipped in through a different entrance. Last year, Bollywood starlet Katrina Kaif was criticised by devotees for entering the shrine in a skirt.
