Paris Hilton wishes to reach out to Indian begger Ishika

Reported by the Times of India

Paris, who was in India from September 24-27, was on her way to a mall on Sunday, when she spotted Ishika, a beggar in Mumbai’s Andheri area, and gave her a $100 note. After that, Paris tweeted about helping people in India, and had asked for suggestions about charities that she could associate with.

But, as news broke out on Wednesday about Ishika losing the money due to a petty squabble in her family, Paris once again took to twitter to reach out to Ishika. It was reported that after Ishika realised that she’d been given a “dollar” by the foreigner, she gave it to her brother-in-law for getting it converted to Indian currency, but as soon as her relatives got to know of the money she’d got, they all started troubling her brother-in-law for a share. Enraged by their reaction, he tore the note up, without realising its value. After the news was printed in an Indian daily, Paris took to her micro blogging page on Wednesday evening, and said, “How can I reach this woman & send her even more in her currency? Can whoever interviewed her tweet me please?”

Paris is such a sweetheart.

But begging is a profession in India.

She should just donate to a non-profit organisation there instead.

I love the generous and sweet side of Paris. That’s the side of her and news about her that I wish more people would get exposed to and would get more attention. Obviously her business ventures and success can’t be stated enough either to those who say she doesn’t do anything.
