Taslima Nasrin, a Bangladeshi-Swedish writer, humanist and activist took to Twitter to speak on the matter: “Will Smith left India today. He came to India just to get an advice from his spiritual guru how he would control his anger before his anger controls him.”
The news comes after a stressful month for Will Smith after being banned from the Oscars for 10 years and being threatened by Chris Rock’s brothers, with Tony Rock stating: “These aren’t the f*****g Oscars! If you get your a** up here, you’re not nominated for anything but these damn hands. We’re gonna bust your a** for the rest of the year, n****r. Every time you see me put on a show, bam!” You gonna punch my brother because your b***h looked sideways at you?”
