Ashley Judd is So Sari

Ashley Judd dons a purple-licious sari at the YouthAIDS Benefit Gala on Friday at the Ritz Carlton in Mclean, Virginia.

The 39-year-old actress is a “global ambassador” for YouthAIDS, a worldwide HIV/AIDS education and prevention effort. Ashley recently told press, “There is an extraordinary, compelling, urgent problem.”

On Nov. 30, the National Geographic Channel and nonprofit organization Cable Positive will premiere a new film India’s Hidden Plague, which features Judd. The special will be available nationally via video on demand.

To RIC: If women in India can wear skirts or outfits which are deemed to be “Westernized”, then I see nothing wrong in Ms Judd wearing a sari. In fact I think it’s a beautiful and lovely gesture that someone in Hollywood is recognizing different cultures.

DO YOU REALLY THINK SO…..SHE IS ONLY WEARING THE SARI AS SHE IS TAKING PART IN SOME PROJECT IN INDIA.IF SHE WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH INDIA WOULD SHE WEAR “THE SARI” AND EMBRACE THE CULTURE OR ANY OTHER CULTURE?! IT IS POLITICS AND ENTERTAINMENT…SHE ALSO PROBABLY WOULD LIKE A MORE WORLDWIDE APPEAL TO DO MORE OF HER “CHARITY”, ONE COULD SAY………
