The Indian Certificate Of Secondary Education (ICSE) has recently announced the inclusion of famous books like JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series, Tintin, and Asterix in school for classes III to VIII. This move of including contemporary literature books and comics was welcomed by a lot of students, parents, and educationists.
The Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty also appreciated the move taking to Twitter. But what happened next has left the actress in shock. She seemed to have mistaken one book for another.
Here’s What The Actress Said:
Shilpa Shetty thinks Animal farm is about caring for animals. Okay then. pic.twitter.com/dMZXYTChwL

The actress was quoted by an English daily in which she said that reading the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter will cultivate the imagination and creativity of the children to a large extent. In addition, she also had a suggestion to make.
Twitter started buzzing with people reacting to Shetty’s uninformed statement! The Internet obviously didn’t spare her and within minutes #ShilpaShettyReviews started trending.
