Will Smith had reportedly traveled to India in order to undertake a period of relaxation including yoga and meditation.
Will Smith Went To India ‘For Spiritual Purposes’
The actor was pictured for the first time since his Oscar slapgate incident in which he had lashed out against Chris Rock because the latter had made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair loss.
And as part of that process, he was having a meet and greet with the fans, as well as taking selfies. And given that he was looking in a buoyant mood, it is safe to say that the period of recuperation worked wonders on him.
A source told People magazine the following: “The actor traveled to India for spiritual purposes, to practice yoga and meditation.”
Aside from it being a spiritual getaway, further sources stressed that this vacation was already long in the making. Reports indicated that Jada was adamant that Will go away especially since canceling the trip would fly in the face of the initial plans.
And given that Will had already caused controversy initially by laughing at Chris’ joke which made Jada upset, he was not going to upset the applecart again.
In addition, due to the reaction that was coming out by those connected to Chris, Will was wise to get away from the states as soon as possible. Chris’ mother Rose Rock did not hold back on her condemnation for the actor.
In a prior statement, she remarked: “When he slapped Chris, he slapped all of us. He really slapped me.” The response from the public on social media was far from satisfactory.
People were of the view that Will should have been personally making it up to all those that had been impacted by this action rather than running away to a remote location.
One person wrote: “He should have travelled to every Oscar winner’s house to apologise for spoiling their moment, again all about me me me.”
So can Will win the public over? So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
